good work figuring it out.
The \ is the escape character for PHP strings (and other programming languages too).

Are you inputting PHP from a form? I believe what happened is your quotes have been escaped twice. This normally happens if you have automatic escaping of quotes during runtime. This is set in your PHP configuration (php.ini). The setting is magic_quotes_gpc ( I think ).

So you can still fix the form (wysiwyg editor) so that it only escapes once.

What you can do is check for the setting in PHP.ini in your PHP that processes the form.

This is done with the funciton: get_magic_quotes_gpc()

eg:

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
addslashes($string);
}

read.. if not get_magic_quotes_gpc(), then addslashes(). Otherwise, you don't need escaping of strings.
