For example this insert statement: insert into test_ing values('a','a','a','a') becomes: insert into test_ing values (\'a\',\'a\',\'a\',\'a\') I immediatly suspected "magic_quotes" but checked (via phpinfo) and see that magic_quotes are off, as a safety precaution I even have "set_magic_quotes_runtime(0)" in the "config.php" file... I did see that "magic_quotes_gpc" is on, and then went to the PHP online manual and it says this cant be fixed during runtime...? is this the problem? if so how to fix it?

_runtime() applies to data coming _out_ of a database within your script. Answer is go turn magic_quotes_gpc OFF or use stripslashes() on the data. -- ---John Holmes... Amazon Wishlist: www.amazon.com/o/registry/3BEXC84AB3A5E/ php|architect: The Magazine for PHP Professionals – www.phparch.com
