I've made it to chapter 24, where I've just read that for this chapter's project I "will need to have switched on magic quotes" or use addslashes() and stripslashes(). So I checked via phpinfo() and found magic_quotes_gpc "On", but magic_quotes_runtime and magic_quotes_sybase both "Off". Now I'm guessing that magic_quotes_runtime is the one I need to have on, but is that so? I'm also guessing that aside from using addslashes() and stripslashes(), I could prob'ly turn on magic_quotes in php_ini. But perhaps because of how I've heard turning register_globals on via php.ini is a security hazard, I'm leery of messing with php.ini at all. Can anyone advise, please? Thank you.
