[thelist] newbie php question

I have a script from an instruction book that is a
news source.  When there is a long "article," lots of
slashes appear in it.  I have another book that has
information on the stripslash function, but I can't
figure out how to get it to work with the other
functions already in the script.  This is what it
originally looked like:

***
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
print("<tr><td bgcolor=\"#003399\"><b>");
printf("<font
color=\"white\">%s</font></b></td></tr>\n",
$row["heading"]);
printf("<td>By: <a href=\"mailto:%s\">%s</a>\n",
$row["author_email"], $row["author_name"]);
printf("<br>Posted: %s<hr>\n",
$row["date"]);
printf("%s</td></tr>\n",
$row["body"]);
}
***

How do I use the stripslash function with that?  And
do I need to do something special when the article is
going in to the database to protect the hard returns
and quotes?

Thanks,
Heather Ruggio
