Removing \ from $_POST[]'s

[CT]

I've got a problem. I've been developing a forum with PHP and i've noticed. When you submit a message with ' or $, @, etc etc... after the php prints it to a file you get I\'m, or Myname\@hotmail.com .. I've been trying to develop a solution so far i've got..

while(strstr($_POST["msg"], "\\")) {
substr_replace($_POST["msg"], ' ', strpos($_POST["msg"], "\\"));
}

But it loops forever O_o... I need a solution.

Use the function stripslashes, wich will remove the /'s for you.
