PHP script putting Slashes in front of Apostrophes

[starseed]

I just put up a script where people can make their own quizzes, but when a user inputs a word with an apostrophe, it displays on the page with a slash in front of it. For example:

Eric/'s Quiz

Is there anyway to fix that?

The script is called phpQuest 0.15 from a site that's no longer around, and I couldn't find any help about this issue on the Archived version of the website.

Thanx for any help

You need to add the following to the echo statement on the variable that is returning the item.

stripslashes( $cVar );
