+unexpected+%24end+in&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-
US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr will give you the solution. This is
quite a common error :-)

You probably don't want to use stripslashes unless you KNOW that your data
will have extraneous slashes added by magic_quotes_* otherwise you may strip
valid slashes. At least use get_magic_quotes_gpc to see if magic quotes are
enabled, and only strip slashes if they are
