createPost adds slashes after ' --> \'

[Biology Forums]

I'm using createPost in a test SMF 2 website and every time a topic with apostrophes is created, SMF doesn't convert it into an html code, but rather adds slashes '\.

I think in SMF 1 it's change them to '

How can I prevent slashes being added?

Investigation would require installing a 2.x copy, which I'm not feeling right now, so can't give an exact answer as to why. But I'd suggest running your input through htmlspecialchars($input, ENT_QUOTES);

That should fix it.

Thank you, but it didn't work ... Here's my code

Code Select Expand

$subject = mysql_escape_string( $subject );

$subject = htmlspecialchars( $subject, ENT_QUOTES );

$subject = un_htmlspecialchars($subject);

$subject = strip_tags($subject);

$subject = strtr(htmlspecialchars($subject), array("\r" => '', "\n" => '', "\t" => ''));

Yes, I believe that the slash is correct. That's how it gets stored 8m the databae, iirc

i would skip  mysql_escape_string as long as you are using the createpost for the subject it should work ok.
