Everyday I scratch my head..... In php.ini in the C:\WINNT it is said; ; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data. magic_quotes_gpc = Off ; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc. magic_quotes_runtime = Off In phpinfo() it is said;

where does it say it read the ini file from? is there a .htaccess equivelant setting somewhere in the ISS server [your new job in a windows shop] turning magic_quotes_gpc on (for the given 'vhost')? (I use apache terminology - I trust your savvy enough to translate them to ISSspeak :-)

magic_quotes_gpc On On magic_quotes_runtime Off Off [note the disparity] and get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns a 1 (for 'on') I am having a helluva time escaping single quotes for use with MSSQL because it throws the following error....

Slashes are being inserted during the post, but i cannot get them to go

can you so a hack with 'magic_quotes_sybase' ini setting? (turn it on) see here: http://nl2.php.net/sybase

away...stripslashes doesn;t work.....can anyone help me get rid of the

what exactly isn't working? something like this does do it for you?: /** * array_stripslashes() * * stripsslashes from each value found in the given array, * and recurses if a value is itself an array. * this function is used to 'transform' request superglobals into * 'form' that is consistent regardless of server settings. (magic quotes, etc) * * @return array() */ function array_stripslashes(&$array) {

    if(!is_array($array));
    while (list($key) = @each($array)) {
        if (is_array($array[$key])) {
            array_stripslashes($array[$key]);
        } else {
            $array[$key] = stripslashes($array[$key]);
        }
    }

} /* setup the env the way we like it. */

set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);    // Disable magic_quotes_runtime

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { // stripslashes if they were auto added

    array_stripslashes( $_POST              );
    array_stripslashes( $_GET               );
    array_stripslashes( $_REQUEST           );
    array_stripslashes( $_COOKIES           );
    array_stripslashes( $_HTTP_POST_VARS    );
    array_stripslashes( $_HTTP_GET_VARS     );
    array_stripslashes( $_HTTP_COOKIES_VARS );

}

slashes? Or should I just go for a nice motorcycle ride in the Hill Country?

If you have hills I'd say take an mtb. :-) I like mtb'ing - but I live in a country
