If you don't want to turn off magic_quotes_gpc globally (for most things it is very useful, IMHO), try "stripslashes()" for problematic strings. I'm not sure, but stripping slashes could offer a possibility of inserting "SQL-injection" attacks. Think about "'; delete from table xyz; select '" typed into a search field. More complicated queries to get the table names of a db could be possible. Maybe it helps, if queries containing a ";" are rejected. Knut Sübert
