Re: Magic Quotes - Problems with Inconsistent Behavior removing Slashes

Unless I'm even more confused than usual about something I've long believed to be true... MagicQuotes does not ever strip slashes. MagicQuotes does an addslashes before the data gets into the database. Are you viewing the same record all the time, or is it possible that one of your records has an extra \ in it? ----- Original Message ----- From: Roy <royb666@earthlink.net> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 5:48 PM Subject: [PHP] Magic Quotes - Problems with Inconsistent Behavior removing Slashes > I'm seeing strange behavior with Magic Quotes in PHP on my ISP hosted > accounts.
