[Xitami] Regular Expression escaping?

	I use the stripslashes function in PHP to get the original value back:

function stripFormSlashes() {
    global $newQuestion;
    ...

    $newQuestion = stripslashes ($newQuestion);
    ...
}


	But that's a PHP issue, not a Xitami issue. Try www.php.net for that.
