Whenever I hit preview in my SAEF, it’s adds a back slash before any quotation mark or apostrophe… like this \”.

I’m guessing it’s a php issue, but I need php in this template to call the fields like this:

<?php 

if (isset($_POST['field_id_5'])) { 
$field_id_5 = $_POST['field_id_5']; 
} 

else { 
$field_id_5 = ''; 
} 

if (isset($_POST['field_id_6'])) { 
$field_id_6 = $_POST['field_id_6']; 
} 

else { 
$field_id_6 = ''; 
}

if (isset($_POST['field_id_24'])) { 
$field_id_24 = $_POST['field_id_24']; 
} 

else { 
$field_id_24 = ''; 
}


?>

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

Anyone know what’s going on? Maybe I need to clarify…

Every time I click preview it adds additional back slashes. So if I type this:

“Banana” or ‘Banana’

and I hit Preview, it previews fine but in the text area it now shows:

\“Banana\” or \‘Banana\’

So if I hit Submit after previewing, it posts with the back slashes.

If I hit Preview again with the slashes, it adds more with every preview click:

\\“Banana\\” or \\‘Banana\\’

Preview again:

\\\\“Banana\\\\” or \\\\‘Banana\\\\’

This becomes a problem especially with users posting embedded videos like YouTube where there are several quotation marks.

I’m having the same problem using a regular html form embedded in an EE template and processed using PHP. Is this something EE automatically does to POST vars?
