Im accepting user input from a text-box on a webpage.
I am then wanting to echo that back into the same box when the page is
submitted.

The problem I have is that the input COULD contain multiple quotes and
double-quotes.
AddSlashes doesnt seem to work properly, as it turns ' into \'
....and " just into \ (removing everything after)

I thought of using single-quotes for the Value='' and then use preg_replace
to replace all occurances of ' with \' ...but I cant figure-out how to do
it.

Anyone got any idea?



For example the user might have entered: ''''"""'"'"''"' (A collection of
quotes & double-quotes)
The input is stored in $myVar... and needs to be put BACK inside Value=''
