More StripSlashes() strangeness

Anyone fancy having a go explaining this one?


<html>
<body>
<?php
 $var = '4" x 10" Box';
 echo StripSlashes( $var ) .'<br />';
?>
<input name="text" type="text" value="<?php echo StripSlashes( $var );?>" />
</body>
</html>

Certainly holds true in Phoenix 0.5, IE 6 and Opera 6.04

Actually sorry guys a bit more playing with:


<body>
<?php
 $var = '4" x 10" Box';
?>
<input name="text" type="text" value="<?php echo $var;?>" />
</body>
</html>

So it's not an SS problem, effectively the double quote (") is closing the tag in the form field ie.


<input name="text" type="text" value="4" x 10" Box" />

How would you guys escape this character problem, I can't see any way of doing this?

aspr1n,
Apologies for leaving you stranded. Been a bit busy this week with a handful of projects.

Gregg,

Nothing whatsoever to apologise for - I'm grateful for any help I get!

Thanks to your help, I've managed to understand rather than just accept - horse to water etc etc ;)

thanks again,

Neil
