Re: PHP Bug Type: Strings related ???

You have magic_quotes_gpc turned on. You will need to stripslashes anything passed in as a GET var. You can turn this off in php.ini or Apache conf files (including .htaccess). See the configuration portion of the manual for instructions. Brian Moon ------------------------------------------ dealnews.com, Inc.
