note 20528 added to function.get-magic-quotes-gpc

I got to playing around and noticed a possible bug, error, whatever you'd like to call it. What if you user inputs a backslash into a field, which is then sent to the database. Let me try and explain this better. The use inputs: \joe\ which is sent via a form to your php script. Now, PHP with magic quotes turned on will automaticly change this variable to \\joe\\. Nothing wrong with that. Next the variable is passed to the query where it is then stripped of the slashes. The raw variable stored in the database is now: /joe/ However, when you go to retrieve the variable again magic quotes strips the slashes from it. This leaves you with just: joe Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but can someone shed some light onto this? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20528 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20528 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20528
