OK. Reopening.

Please upgrade to the latest version.

Does the same behaviour occur with fopen() or readfile() or other
file-functions?

My scripts remain unchanged, but the results are random... sometimes it
works and sometimes it doesn't.

Where *constant* inputs produce *variable* outputs through a *constant*
process within a *constant* configuration, can't we speak about bug ?

We have another server with the same version of PHP, the same 'php.ini'
file and the same modules and extensions, which works and runs the same
scripts without any problem...

For me, it's not a problem with magic quotes configuration.

RTM on magic quotes!

this bug (?) is difficult to encircle and reproduce (and understand),
because it appears in a very erratic way.

from time to time, when a file is read with file() and its content
displayed line by line with each(), all its single and double quotes
are automatically backslashed !
example :
with 'toto.txt' contains :  je n'aime pas ce "bug" !
and the following script :
<?php
  $my_file = file('toto.txt');
  while(list(, $my_line) = each($my_file)) {
    echo $my_line;
  }
?>

**sometimes** we get something like :
  je n\'aime pas ce \"bug\" !

(and sometimes not...)

?!?!

- our system :
  Linux 2.4 (Mdk 8)
  Apache 1.3.22
  PHP 4.0.6 (RPM Mdk)
