Example: A form. If on and you use addslashes(), you are running addslashes twice in which case you'd have to stripslashes() twice. This is not recommended. So, either disable magic_quotes_gpc and use addslashes, or only addslashes() if get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns false, or something similar. Regards, Philip
