Hi Dennis,

Shouldn't be a problem - only slashes preceding a second slash, or an apostrophe would be stripped. If there does turn out to be any issues they should be easily dealt with conditionally but I'm sure there won't be - it does look like magic quotes are active in the local setting (despite being off in php.ini) so should be OK...

Cheers,
David.
