From: baglan at ankara dot edu dot tr Operating system: Win32/Linux/OpenBSD PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Differences between string escaping Description: ------------ I write and test PHP scripts on WinXP with Apache 1.3.x and pre-compiled PHP 4.3.2. Sites where I host my pages are Linux and OpenBSD running Apache 1.3.x and PHP 4.3.1. In both cases I use MySQL. Both PHP installations have the same configuration except for the file paths. Program I wrote stores HTML pages in database so the text in SQL statement has to be escaped. Under WinXP I have to write code like this: $string = "'".addslashes($string)."'"; Under Linux and OpenBSD installations when I run the same code I get the string escaped TWICE. I presume that the string is escaped again during concantenation. Reproduce code: --------------- $string = '<IMG SRC="http://example.com/Arrow.gif">'; $string = "'".addslashes($string)."'"; // Under WinXP I get: // <IMG SRC=\"http://example.com/Arrow.gif\"> // Under Linux & OpenBSD I get // <IMG SRC=\\\"http://example.com/Arrow.gif\\\"> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24383&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24383&r=gnused
