Hey gang,
I was having the weirdest problems when I decided to update the code
for my site(written in PHP) last modified over a year ago. The code ran
fine under my home development system, but on the hosting
machine(1and1.com), my code would break. Horribly.
I narrowed the problem to this - If I have a variable in
$_SESSION(for example, 'username') and in my page, I declare a variable
(for example '$username="guest"'), I've effectively accessed and
overwritten the session variable. It's been over a year, but I believe
this is due to magic_quotes_gpc flag being 1 or something - I checked
with my host's phpinfo page and it is set to 1.
My question is(before I send my host an e-mail to ask them to turn
it off for my site) is, magic_quotes_gpc IS the culprit, right? I mean
the whole behavior of if you declare a variable :
$_SESSION['username'] = "Mark"
then you can just write $username instead of $_SESSION["username"]
to access the session variable is because of magic_quotes_gpc?
Thanks in advance,
Mk
