I understand that, and it makes sense that a command in a file wouldn't affect the settings, but in the manual, it says magic_quotes_gpc is a user level setting, meaning you can use ini_set to control it. > If you are using apache, try a .htaccess file in the directory with: > > php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 We're trying to get this to work on IIS or without an .htaccess file. The OP cannot change PHP.ini, either. > Look through the comments at the page below for further information: > > http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php Okay...what's the point of being able to set magic_quotes_gpc within a script, but it will have _no_ effect. That's really stupid. They should just change the manual page to say PHP_INI_PERDIR... ---John Holmes...
