1. If you did any database work the reason should be obvious.

2. Either use stripslashes() or turn off gpc_magicquotes in your php.ini file.

This isn't a bug. Use stripslashes() to remove the slashes from the output

When receving values from a form text field such as

 <INPUT name="hugo" type="text">

any entered ['] is preceedet with an [] in the variable $hugo. Thus:

 [it's a shame] becomes "it's a shame".

1. I don't see any reason for it.

2. I tried to solve the problem using preg_replace:

 preg_replace('~/'~',''',$hugo);

...without any effect.

 preg_replace('~134'~','/',$hugo);

indeed works fine! An error?!
