PHP echo _POST problem

[captainyellowshirt]

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble using a simple for to post information.
Here is my form.

<form action="testing .php" method="post" target="_blank" >
<b>Your Code:</b><br />
<textarea name="code" rows="5" cols="50"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Preview" />
</form>

Landing page.

<?php echo $_POST["code"]; ?>

When you submit anything with a single or double quotation ( ' or " ), on the landing page a slash ( \ ) is inserted right before the quotation.

This: href="www.myURL .com" entered into the form will submit and post like this on the following page: href=\"www.myUR L.com\"

This form worked on my previous host just fine but not on my new one. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can't see what the problem is. I uploaded it onto my server, PHP version 5.1.6, and it worked great.

I recommend that you call your host and find out.

Just means that magic_quotes is on on you new host server.

Use [php]<?php echo stripslashes($_ POST["code"]); ?>[/php] to remove the quotes.
