 * i have created my self coded mailing system and associated with worpress using
   like we create template page, the problem this that when i post html email to
   another page it it escape html tags like
 *     ```
       <div id=\"wrapper\">&nbsp;</div>
       <div id=\"menu\" style=\"background: #858503; height: 50px; width: 600px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px auto;\">
       ```
   
 * how to avoid this because i disappear my style, is there any setting or function
   unescape POST input or i should replace escape slashes with null value

 * It appears only the double quotes are escaped. Is that the case, or did the forum’s
   parser strip out other escapes?
 * If it’s just the quotes, it appears your content got run through `addslashes()`
   twice before adding it to the DB, but only run through `stripslashes()` once 
   on retrieval. Ideally, you should locate the extra call to `addslashes()` and
   remove it.
 * As a stop gap measure if you cannot locate the extra call, you could simply run
   your content through `stripslashes()` again to regain normal content.
