From the manual (http://www.php.net/manual/configuration.php): magic_quotes_gpc boolean Sets the magic_quotes state for GPC (Get/Post/Cookie) operations. When magic_quotes are on, all ' (single- quote), " (double quote), \ (backslash) and NUL's are escaped with a backslash automatically. --- Mark Roedel | "Blessed is he who has learned to laugh Systems Programmer | at himself, for he shall never cease LeTourneau University | to be entertained."
