Although its i'm or i'd thats get typed into a form a slash appears when
the typed in text is viewed later .

Thanks for that , Glad magic quotes where switched on or it probably
would have been the first bug report in a few days times when I make a
script public .

Seem to recall a while ago some geeks on another newsgroup saying magic
quotes was a bad thing though .

It can be if you write a script in an environment where it is turned on,
then try to run it in another environment where it is turned off. Ideally
you should write code which can detect whether it is ON or OFF and deal with
it as appropriate, such as:

if (!get_magic_quo tes_gpc()) {
$lastname = addslashes($_PO ST['lastname']);
} else {
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
} // if

you could also write a couple of small functions containing the above

function prepare_input($ string)
{
if (!get_magic_quo tes_gpc())
{
return addslashes($str ing);
}
else
{
return $string;
}
}
function prepare_output( $string)
{
if (!get_magic_quo tes_gpc())
{
return stripslashes($s tring);
}
else
{
return $string;
}
}

$lastname = prepare_input($ _POST['lastname']);
print(prepare_o utput($lastname ));

At the risk of being pointed to www.php.net by andy - would you have a
similar code snippet to check and see if globals is switched on .
