Slashes Help

I'm going Baty

I'vew been trying to get rid of the slashes that are being added when a user fill out a form.

Here is my problem. The user fills out a form then its previewed, but when they add some like 8' 9" ithe results are 8\' 9\" . how do I stop this from happening in the preview page.
Right now I have the code as :

PHP Code:

<?php echo $var; ?>

in the preview page.


any suggestions or slutions would be appreicated
thanks
Joe

echo preg_replace('/\\/U','',$var);
or
echo str_replace('\','',$var);

you can also use stripslashes()

PHP Code:

<?php
        $string = "str\ng w\th slash\es";
        $string = stripslashes($string);
        echo $string;
?>
