note 38781 deleted from function.get-magic-quotes-gpc by didou

Note Submitter: eric_taylor atsymbol morgan-cain dot com ---- This may be a somewhat unique approach (and it certainly seems to work)--basically, I reasoned the only time that I'm having trouble with magic_quotes_gpc is when some of my data came from $_POST and some of it came fresh off the SQL database. In that case, I have a mix of magic-quoted and non-magic-quoted data, which is the sticky issue. My solution is to ereg for any unslashed single-quotes in my variables before attempting an SQL insert or update with my variables: function maybeslash( &$element ) { if( is_array( $element ) ) { // recurse any arrays in our variable array_map( "maybeslash", $element ); } else { // if our variable has a single-quote with no slash b4 it, addslash if( ereg( "^']'", $element ) ) { $element = addslashes( $element ); } } } When it's over, everything is magic-quote compatiblized... :)
