nl2br function add's "\"s to my code

For example

I use

$content = nl2br($_POST['content']);

and when I type in something like this in my form

"I'll be going to the office today"

It'll return

"I\'ll be going to the office today"

Is there a way I can remove the \'s? or am I using the nl2br function wrong?

I'm guessing you're getting information via a POST or GET; try something like this:

<?php
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $process = array(&$_GET, &$_POST, &$_COOKIE, &$_REQUEST);
    while (list($key, $val) = each($process)) {
        foreach ($val as $k => $v) {
            unset($process[$key][$k]);
            if (is_array($v)) {
                $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = $v;
                $process[] = &$process[$key][stripslashes($k)];
            } else {
                $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = stripslashes($v);
            }
        }
    }
    unset($process);
}
?>

nl2br() does no such thing! You have magic quotes on. Turn them off.
