Question

What is the best way to avoid \' while we get the values from PHP post method and want to store in the database. I have used simply , echo $_POST['txtname'];

it produces the output Uncl\'es Jules, if enter name as Uncl'es Jules

Can any one suggest the better way?

Answer 1

This sounds like you have magic_quotes enabled that’s why it is escaping data automagically.

1. You should disable magic_quotes. Here is how you can
2. Escape data with mysql_real_escape_string() while inserting them

If magic_quotes is not disabled with any reason you can use stripslashes do remove those extra \.

echo stripslashes($data);
