How can one handle the issue of escaped quotes (\") in a PHP form textarea field when submitting a POST request?

When handling escaped quotes (\") in a PHP form textarea field during a POST request submission, you can use the `stripslashes()` function to remove the slashes before processing the input. This function will strip any backslashes from the input, including those that escape quotes. By applying `stripslashes()` to the textarea field value before using it in your PHP script, you can ensure that the escaped quotes do not interfere with your processing logic. 

// Handle escaped quotes in textarea field
if(isset($_POST['textarea_field'])){
    $textarea_value = stripslashes($_POST['textarea_field']);
    
    // Use $textarea_value in your processing logic
}
