ID: 12409 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: ryan.smith@openwave.com Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Solaris PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: It always did Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-26 18:26:57] ryan.smith@openwave.com Ah - it looks like magic_quotes_gpc is now defaults to on. Should it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-26 17:28:22] ryan.smith@openwave.com When I sumbit a form which contains a textarea containing the quote character, the form variable generated in the submitted script contains an escaped quote. This didn't happen in PHP3, and I'm not sure when it appeard in PHP4, as I've only used 4.0.6. An example can be seen on www.php.net: Enter a string containing quotes in the text search box. The resulting page will contain multiple backslashes around the quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12409&edit=1
