What happens, is that PHP has the capability to escape the ' character when it
is passed from the form, so it comes out the other end as \' and in order to
get rid of it, we need to use the strip_slashes() function.
Phorm makes use of the variable that is the same as the form field name. i.e.
if there is a form field called notes and it has "I'm going" in it, Phorm
(PHP) will have a variable $notes that will have the value "I\'m going". To
get rid of the slash, we put the following line into the config file, which is
one of the first things that gets executed, and we can alter the variables
that Phorm (PHP) will use.
$notes = strip_slashes($notes);
Note that this is purely a PHP statement and has no relation to Phorm, apart
from the fact that we are using it to modify one of the variables used by
Phorm.
Hope this clarifies the problem. Check out the PHP documentation if you are
still having problems.
