Sending string in quotes from html to php

Question

I have a html form tag that sends this string to a php file:

value='network="export"'

when loaded in php, it shows up as:

network=\"export\

what would be the proper syntax to use in html so when loaded in php, it'll show up as:

network="export"

hope my question wasnt confusing, thanks for the help!

Are you sure it doesn't show up as network=\"export\" ?

Sounds like you need to disable magic quotes in PHP.

If the string looks like this: network=\"export\" then you can remove the slashes using: stripslashes()

Usage here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php

It sounds like you have magic quotes enabled in your php configuration. That documentation page includes information about what this setting does, and how you can disable it.
