No. This setting cannot be set within the script but can be with .htaccess with the following : php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off And be sure to have a look here (see user comments too) : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc But, if you just want to strip the slashes before display it's common to use the stripslashes function : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php Which means in your case you can do : <?php echo stripslashes($text) ?> It'll print $text as desired. magic_quotes are on by default and are pretty common and useful, like for putting the data into the database (as it escapes \"stuff\" automagically!)
