Using stripslashes after mysql_real_escape_string

Question

I have to escape some inputs on a form. I used mysql_real_escape_string to escape the value but it adds a lot slashes with value inside database, the reason is i have an apostrophe in my input let us say exp's.

Now to get rid of slashes, I use stripslashes after mysql_real_escape_string and then data goes to database successfully and don't see any apostrophe with value in database.

$name = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['userame']));
$name = stripslashes(stripslashes($userame));

// then data goes to db successfully without apostrophe

I just wanted to confirm, is this correct way of escaping the input value? Thanks

1. 禁用魔术引号
2. mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['username']));

Answer 2

No it's not. Check your php.ini for the magic_quotes_gpc setting. If you can't disable it use stripslashes BEFORE using mysql_real_escape_string . The link has a method to strip it globally from $_POST , $_GET and $_COOKIE . Or even better, use prepared statements with PDO

Answer 3

If you have magic_quotes_gpc enabled you should use the stripslashes() function before escaping - otherwise you will escape twice, thus loads of slashes.
