First Hello - and a simple FORM question

webhead

Hi, I am new to this forum and am looking for help as I coming up to speed on all things WEB. I am a hard core applications developer that has either seen the light or come over to the dark side, not sure which yet .

My form question is simple. In the little test htm/php I am written I would like to recieve regular expressions from a text/submit form.

Problem is, when receiving the input in my php script (using _POST) any backslash the user might have included in their regular expression come in with an addition backslash infront of it.

Is there anyway to tell the form that I want the data unmodified?

Thanks

Use;

PHP: Select all

$variable = stripslashes($_POST['variable'];

Actually, could someone move this to the appropriate forum (and delete this post)? Just to keep things organised
