Automatic stripslashes() of everything retrieved from database?

[eluser]Developer13[/eluser]
A couple of things come to mind here... what version of PHP are you running? If magic_quotes_runtime is somehow being forced on, then you could end up with the slashes in your DB. The other thing that could cause them is the method in which you're inserting data into your database. I don't believe XSS filtering by itself is going to cause this. Could you post a quick snippet of your data insert methods?
