Auto escaping an apostrophy...

Todd, From the PHP manual: 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. Note: If the magic_quotes_sybase directive is also ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc. Having both directives enabled means only single quotes are escaped as ''. Double quotes, backslashes and NUL's will remain untouched and unescaped. See also get_magic_quotes_gpc() Rgds John --- I have noticed that an apostrophy is automatically escaped with a "\", or at least appears to be if the surfer enters an apostrophy in a text field. Has this always been the case or is there a setting in the php.ini file that contols this? Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
