Hi Experts all...

As per testing rules I need to use
1"\45|!,')0 1"\45|!,')0 1"\45|!,')0 1"\45|!,')(50)
as an input value. it inserts properly in mysql.

but when I try to edit it it shows me "\\" instead of "\"
and If I refresh the pages it mupltiplies....

Please suggest what to do....

Code: Select all

$block_of_text = stripslashes($block_of_text);

dont us strip_slashes before you insert in the DB.. use stripslashes when you output the fields for editing (when you echo those in the form fields).

thanks Guys,

but problem is not yet solved.
if I will output with stripslash it will remove all slashes originally I have.
I need them in my table as it is.

and if I will use addslashes on update it will again multiply slashes to orginals ...

any other options ?

might try using stripcslashes() but that'll probably have the same results that stripslashes has... or you could reg em' out.
ereg_replace('\','',$removeSlashesString);
-or-
ereg_replace("\\",'',$removeSlashesString);
