Bug #11001 Updated: ini_set() of 'magic_quotes_sybase' has no effect

ID: 11001 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: mike@newfangled.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.5 Assigned To: Comments: I suppose to some extent it is. The chart on php.net/ini_set just specifies where values can be changed. It doesn't specify whether changing that value will actually have the desired effect. Like you saw, you could change the value in your script, the problem is just that the action that the value affects happens before your script is run, so the change doesn't do anything useful. The ini_set page should be updated to reflect this.

I have to set the value to 'on' in the PHP.ini file in order for this to work. I have tried the following without any success. ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 1 ) ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', '1' ) ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', -1 ) ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', '-1' ) ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', true ) ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 'on' ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
