Hey guys - I have a php form that submits to a mysql database and there's one last bug - when someone uses the "\" character it errors out. How do I make it treat "\" as part of the string without interrupting the statement or how do I strip the \ from the input:

example code:
$sql = "INSERT INTO affiliates SET " .
"pridomain='$pridomain', " .
"uname='$uname', " .
"upwd='$upwd', " .

error when \ is used:
Error adding your registration entry: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '\'

To protect the slashes use the function addslashes()

To remove the slashes alltogether use the function stripslashes()

See :

and
