RE: [PHP] php3_magic_quotes_gpc

Magic quotes properly escapes all input that comes from outside PHP so that it can be easily added to a database. This means that it changes strings such as "\\this is a test\" to "\\\\this is a test\\". In other words, it automatically runs addslashes() on all externally-obtained variables before you ever see them. As for the .htaccess file, just do something like this: <Files /path/to/your/directory/*> php3_magic_quotes_gpc On </Files> (note that the path is the server filesystem path, not the URL) Stick the .htaccess somewhere that Apache can see it, and you're off! --Bruce Bruce Christensen Intel Corporation brucex.r.christensen@intel.com -----Original Message----- From: Brad Sacks [mailto:brad@velotravels.com] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 11:03 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] php3_magic_quotes_gpc Does anyone now how to use php3_magic_quotes_gpc on a directory basis using htaccess.
