#19526 [Bgs]: can't turn magic quotes off

ID: 19526 User updated by: jayv@nortelnetworks.com Reported By: jayv@nortelnetworks.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Win2K PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: How do you figure? If a function call ini_set(magic_quotes_gpc,0) doesn't do what it is supposed to (which is turn of magic_quotes), why is that not a bug?? Are you telling me it was design intent to have a function that does nothing?

It seems to turn off magic quotes at the local level (the page) yet it still adds the backslash before my single quote. <?php // import variables into 'p_' space import_request_variables('gp', 'p_'); $succ = ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc","0"); if ($succ){print "Magic Quotes was set successfully<br>";} $succ = ini_set("magic_quotes_runtime","0"); if ($succ){print "Magic Quotes Runtime was set successfully<br>";} $var = get_magic_quotes_gpc(); print "Magic Quotes = ". $var . "<br>"; if(!isset($p_name)||$p_name==''){$p_name="O'Conner";} ?> <form name=myForm action=test.php method=post> <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $p_name; ?>"> <input type=submit value="submit"> <p> Keep hitting submit </form> <?php print phpinfo(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19526&edit=1
