I totally blew past that part with the sybase because we aren't using sybase. I guess I should have paid more attention. I'm curious why that directive affects general PHP code and not just the sybase functions.

Oh, well.

Thanks for the heads up.

thnx,
Chris

From http://php.net/addslashes :

"Having the PHP directive magic_quotes_sybase set to on will mean ' is instead escaped with another '."

Can someone explain something to me:

<script language="php">
 $string = "Bob's carwash's door";
 echo 'addslashes(): ' . addslashes( $string ) . '<br>';
echo 'mysql_escape_string(): ' . mysql_escape_string( $string ) . '<br>';
</script>

Outputs:

addslashes(): Bob''s carwash''s door
mysql_escape_string(): Bob\'s carwash\'s door

According to the documentation (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php), addslashes() should be doing exactly what mysql_escape_string is doing above (namely, add backslashes in front of each apostrophe). However, it's merely adding an additional apostrophe. Why?

I'm running 4.3.11 on Windows NT 5.2 build 3790.

thnx,
Chris
