Textarea apostrophes becoming backslashes?

I have a textarea where the user inputs text for a post. I then display the data on the site. How can I prevent the rendering of apostrophes with backslashes in the result? For example:

"Let's do this"

would be:

"Let'\s do this"

You may be able to use the function stripslashes().

However, disabling magic quotes and escaping the input would also be prudent.

Yep, disable magicquotes or strip slashes.

You'll also want to strip tags. Your website will be vulnerable to attacks if you don't.

  1. Disable magic quotes.

  2. Escape user input in the context of HTML.
