Re: backslashes added to POST value

My post values have backslashes added to them (such as to protect a double-quote). All the magic_quote_* settings are turned off in php.ini. Any ideas why this is happening?

As someone else has already mentioned, this setting could be coming from either an .htaccess file or httpd.conf if you're using Apache. If you're using IIS on Win32 it's also possible to configure settings on a per-virtual server basis in the system registry. The easiest way to check for this is to use phpinfo() inside the directory that is causing you a problem and see if those magic_quote_* settings are indeed off, for both the local value and the master value. If the local value is different then you have something in some other location that is overriding your master value.
