Hi:
I just posted a solution I used recently. Here it is:
One way to turn off magic quotes is to place a ".htaccess" file in
your root folder. It's simply a text file that contains:
php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
php_value magic_quotes_sybase 0
php_value magic_quotes_runtime 0
It works for me.

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,
Chris
