If you can not edit php.ini or you are distributing your application and can not control PHP's settings search the archives for code based solutions to this. Welcome to the most annoying PHP feature ever. :) Regards, Adam [1] http://www.php.net/ref.info#ini.magic-quotes-gpc -- Adam Bregenzer adam@bregenzer.net
