Beside the fact that this is unexpected behaviour (religious wars about the perceived value of MQGPC aside, any value you pass to parse_str, is not part of get, post or cookies, unless it was getted, posted, or cookied, in which case it's ALREADY been GPC'd and doesn't need to be again) it should be made clear. The documentation is also misleading by mentioning magic_quotes_runtime, leading one to believe that only magic_quotes_runtime affects it (which would be marginally more sensible). I have added a user note to the documentation, but I think it deserves a warning style box because it is a bit of a gotcha. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30830&edit=1
