note 51390 deleted from function.stripslashes by philip

Note Submitter: john at NOSPAMdoe dot com ---- To avoid having to repeatedly check for magic quotes, use this piece of code: <?php eval('function cndstrips($str) { return ' . (get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? 'stripslashes($str)' : '$str') . '; }'); ?> somewhere in the first lines. After this, you can use cndstrips (conditional strip slashes, ofcourse you can rename) instead of stripslashes, and without having to worry about stripping normal strings. Don't overdo it, however. If stripping slashes just once is all that matters, try something like this: <?php if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { if (is_array($_POST) foreach($_POST as $k=>$v) if (is_string($v) $_POST[$k] = stripslashes($v); if (is_array($_COOKIE) foreach($_COOKIE as $k=>$v) if (is_string($v)$_COOKIE[$k]= stripslashes($v); if (is_array($_GET) foreach($_GET as $k=>$v) if (is_string($v) $_GET[$k] = stripslashes($v); } ?> This works with PHP4.
