    Resolved [RESOLVED] mysql_real_escape_string problem

    I am having a problem when a user submits specific text to my database. If the user types a UNC path to a server and the server starts with an 'R' then the data is malformed as it gets entered into the mySQL database.

    For example, if the user types
    \\realtime\sharename
    I submit the data to the database using the mysql_real_escape_string. Which changes the data to now read
    \\\r\nealtime\\sharename
    This causes a problem when pulling the data out of the database and displaying it because of that \r\n. It does some tricky formatting and then the data printed in HTML looks like
    \ ealtime\sharename
    Any help on this?
