If magic_quotes_sybase is also on, a single-quote is escaped with a single-quote instead of a backslash. http://www.php.net/manual/en/printwn/ref.info.php#ini.magic-quotes-runtime > Secondly, is there any way of counting how long in pixels my page runs? > Basically, my situation is this: I want to know if my page runs more than a > screen and a half (or so... still deciding) of the user's screen so that I > can put a Go to Top link on the bottom if it's useful.
