Thanks Mikey, had forgotten that. Works a treat.

You could try using forward slashes - they are functionally equivalent from

Subject: [PHP-WIN] $_POST issues with file paths


Here is my problem I need to read a file path from this construct Base Path <input type="text" name="sys_path" value="e:\\jon\\site_dev\\php-html" size="40" maxlength="80"><br>

however when I read it with
$appath=$_POST["sys_path"];
what I get is
e:\\\\\\jon\\\\\\site_dev\\\\\\php-html
not what I am expecting which is
e:\\jon\\site_dev\\php-html

how can I stop the post method from escaping all my backslashes twice
or do I have to write a routine that kills the surpluss ones?

Jon
