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

Subject: Re: addslashes()
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,
