i was working on adding some new stuff to this site, when i finally figured out something that has been bugging me for a while.. apparently the default install of PHP comes with the magic_quotes_gpc enabled. this means that quotes in any form data submitted to PHP is automagically escaped with backslashes. as i didn't know this before, i had been randomly adding stripslashes() to variables whenever i noticed the extra slashes. armed with this new information, however, i was able to go through my code and fix it up so that everything is consistent and i only call stripslashes() where i need to.

the problem is that a lot of the data in the mysql database also needed to stripslash'd, and i had to do that manually (running the SQL query for each table), which is error-prone.. so, if anybody sees any extra backslashes (\) floating around on the website that shouldn't be there, let me know so that i can fix it.

I think the escapes for double quotes are there.

To clarify
Double quotes for comments.
