I have a db table field named "ref_term", which holds a basic product description. An example description is...

19" Designer 50/50

The descriptions are stored using the addslash function, so they are stored as...

19\" Designer 50/50

Now, I'm using 2 pages which display product info. One is prod_list.php, in which I use the "stripslash" function, and when I echo the data, the description displays fine, i.e.,

$ref_term=stripslashes($ref_term);
echo "$ref_term"

which displays as...

19" Designer 50/50

Fine so far. But on the second page, which is an edit/update page (update_product.php), I use the stripslash function, and all I get dispayed is...

19

and nothing else. If I remove the slash from the stored data, I still get the same result, meaning that nothing past the 19 is displayed.

Although this isn't the entire code, these lines must be where something isn't correct, but I don't know what.

$ref_term=stripslashes($ref_term);
Reference<br>
<input type="text" name="ud_ref_term" size="40" value="<? echo "$ref_term" ?>">

Any suggestions?

If you see html source of this page you'll see:
<input type="text" name="ud_ref_term" size="40" value="19" Designer 50/50">

you should add slashes to $ref_term variable

interseting bug,
how are you gonna by pass this thing!!?
I think you will have to leave the slashes in the var and notify user that he have to remove manualy !
