DB is a database package, not a form package. The only package (AFAIK) which handles magic_quotes in PEAR is HTML_QuickForm and only if you use its data exporting functions. magic_quotes is bad. Period. It should never be used. Ever. It's the wrong solution to any problem. Please read my FAQ: http://pear.reversefold.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=phpfaqs#why_is_magic_quotes_gpc_bad -- Justin Patrin
