Hi,
 My question is about the norlmal behaviour of PHP and MYSQL but I cant
 explain it without a simple example. Thank you for reading:
 
 I have the following code:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 <?php
 print $t = $_POST['txt'];
 print $t = addslashes($t);
 
 @ $db = mysql_pconnect(xxx,xxx,xxx);
 mysql_select_db('test');
 
 $q = "update ttable set ffield='$t'";
 mysql_query($q);
 
 $q = "select * from ttable";
 $result = mysql_query($q);
 $bo = mysql_fetch_array($result);
 
 print $t = $bo['ffield'];
 print $t = stripslashes($t);
 ?>
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 from a HTML form I send variable:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 ' \ \' \\ \\\
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 after addshashes it becomes:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 \' \\ \\\' \\\\ \\\\\\
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 after that it gets in the database
 
 but after I get it out it becomes:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 ' \ \' \\ \\\
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 (without the backslashes!)
 
 and ofcourse after stripslashes it gets messed-up:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 ' ' \ \
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 So my question is if this is a normal behaviour for PHP+MYSQL or it may vary
 indifferent conficurations or versions of both php or mysql.
 It's not a bad thing to be like that but I wonder if my code will behave the
 same at most systems.
 
 Thank you very much
