unescape a string

unescape a string

am 11.03.2006 04:43:22 von Ron Piggott

Is there a way to unescape a string once the command

mysql_real_escape_string($variable);

has been used on it? (This is to display it to the screen, instead of
sending it to the database.)

Just stash it in another var before running the function.

$var_b4_esx = $variable;
mysql_real_escape_string( $variable );

Curious about why you are doing this for screen display.

This would partially unescape it, but mysql_escape_string does more than just
add slashes to a string.
