Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-07 23:47:58] philip@theprojects.org When using ini_set() on a non-configurable setting, it'll return a "non-existent" local value. For example, I run this while magic_quotes_gpc are globally on : if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == TRUE) { ini_set('magic_quotes_gpc','off'); } if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == FALSE) { print 'magic_quotes are off'; } else { print 'magic_quotes are still on silly'; } It will print 'magic_quotes are off' when really they are not. Admittedly this aspect is 'out of my field' but after a php-general list posting I am told : "Directives that affect actions that are taken before a script is parsed, such as mangling EGPCS data, can not be changed by the script." -- Rasmus Which makes sense but it seems the attempt above should not "partially work." phpinfo says : magic_quotes_gpc : localvalue = off , mastervalue = on When I assume there is no such thing as a local value for these type of directives, right? Something is up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8584&edit=1
