as others have mentioned already, it's happening automatically because of the magic 
quotes feature. use the function stripslashes() to remove the escaping character.
 
$text = "o\'reilly";
 
$text = stripslashes($text);
 
// $text now equals "o'reilly";

        Subject: [PHP] apostrophe ( ' ) on a form, adding \; How can i fix this?
        
        

        I have a user/form that client enters data. And one of my clients have an
        apostrophe on his name
        
        eg: Ero's
        
        Now, this page has a confirmation page that the client would see first
        before his form will be directed into my system. Now its shows "Ero\'s" how
        come this is happening? I dont have any filters for this?
        
        Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!
