 * I think what you are experiencing is the [PHP ‘magic quotes’](http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.what.php).
 * That link provides info on how to turn them off. The [stripslashes function](http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php)
   can be used if you do not want to turn them off.
