Hello KC,
Just another comment:
If you don't know about the magic_quotes_gpc setting on the server your
script is supposed to be run on, use get_magic_quotes_gpc() to handle text
data properly anyway. I usually use a function like this before I store
submitted text data in a database:
function SlashesIfNecessary ($varname) {
$mq_gpc = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
if ($mq_gpc == 1) return $varname;
else return addslashes($varname);
}
And then with each variable:
$title = SlashesIfNecessary($title);
$text = SlashesIfNecessary($text);
If you display text data from the database on an HTML page again, don't
forget something like htmlentities() (or htmlspecialchars()) and nl2br().
Best regards
Tom
