opposite of quotemeta ?

by Matthew Croud :: Rate this Message:

Hi,

In my script I want the user to enter some html which is saved to a  
file,
I've noticed that php rather cleverly escapes the speech marks, so:

<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>

becomes:

<a href=\"www.google.com\">Google</a>

Is there some function which prevents or reverts this ? something  
similar to html_entities maybe?

Many thanks!
Matt

Hi Matthew,

you might have magic quotes enabled in your PHP installation. Have a look at
http://php.net/manual/de/security.magicquotes.php about that topic.

If you want to unescape the string, use the stripslashes-function (http://php.net/stripslashes).
