Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-25 19:26:33] oregon at pobox dot com The magic_quotes_gpc option correctly escapes single quotes, but it ignores the single quote in GET data when the single quote is URL-encoded (as %27). This causes database errors on submitted data what was supposed to be handled by magic_quotes_gpc. Example: calling a script "view.php" with city set to "Martha's Vinyard" URL-encoded will generate a DB error when the city is passed to a database query... http://mywebsite.com/view.php?city=Martha%27s+Vinyard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22424&edit=1
