note 38455 added to function.get-magic-quotes-gpc

Magic Quotes .... UGH! I spent an hour trying to figure out why my variables were adding a backslash! I finally narrowed it down to the URL and POST variables. Then I found out about Magic Quotes.. PHP is great. I'm not new with it and use it for almost every web-based project I've ever written. but Magic Quotes should indeed be removed immediately; it hinders both beginners and experts. Lucky for me I found this section. For all those who have had the same problem and found yourself here under similar terms .. take a deep breath, relax, and simply add "stripslashes()" to your code (but don't forget to use get_magic_quotes_gpc() to see if it's require, if you plan on making your code portable). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38455 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38455&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38455&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
