Hello,

When I add a comment using the variable below, apostrophes are printed with a backslash in front of them. How can I get rid of the backslashes?

Thanks in advance,

John

Example of printed result:

My roommate\'s brother\'s ex-girlfriend\'s aunt drive a Toyota.

$comment = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['comment']);
