    hi

    This is the code related to the form

    <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="saveit.php">
  <label>
  <textarea name="txt1" cols="100" rows="25"></textarea>
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
  </label>
</form>
    PHP:

    when i enter the value "Jane" (with double quote) , and submit i want to display that text
    Here the saveit.php
    echo $_POST["txt1"]);
    PHP:
    But here it displays as
    \"Jane\" (Not as "Jane")

    So how to get the out put as "Jane" (with double quote)


    further , if i enter like
    <html>
    hi
    </html>

    it needs to display as it is.
    currently it shows only: hi
    It removes html tags...

    i want to stop interpreting html. needs to show html as it is.
    how can i do this!

    Case 1, regarding the Jane:
    echo stripslashes($_POST["txt1"]);
    PHP:
    Case 1, regarding the <html>:
    echo htmlentities($_POST["txt1"]);
    PHP:
    So you might want to use this for the overall:
    echo htmlentities(stripslashes($_POST["txt1"]));
    PHP:

    I don't get you. Did you try my last script?

    I think
    echo htmlentities(stripslashes($_POST["txt1"]));
    must be the best
