Escaping backslashes...

[The1corrupted]

Okay, this is somewhat annoying but I need to escape backslashes to make something look nice.

[PHP]
<?php
if ($mesgread[0]=="/" AND $user!=$otherus er) {
$action=explode (" ", $msg, 2);
$_SESSION['chat']=$_SESSION['chat'].$action[1]."<br>";
echo $META
}
[/PHP]
This all works fin and dandy but when I go to echo the $_SESSION['chat'], backslashes appear before quotes.. Say $action[1]="This said "STUFF" and disappeared" it would end up echoing "This said \"STUFF\" and disappeared".

Use the stripslashes command in php. See the standard php documentation about the use of escape characters.

string stripslashes ( string $str )

Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backslashes (\\) are made into a single backslash (\).
