Re: magic quotes

Hello, When magic_quotes_gpc is on, addslashes() will be automatically applied on all data from GET, POST, COOKIES by PHP. When magic_quotes_runtime is on, addslashes() will be automatically applied on all data collected form database (ex: when you execute a SELECT statement). Therefore when magic_quotes_runtime is on, you need to use stripslashes() on data colected from database. It is not only apply to data collected from database, others as well. I believe there is a details guide in the php documentation at php.net.
