Turn magic_quotes OFF -- it's just a PITA anyway. if magic_quotes_gpc is on in the php.ini and you don;t have the access to change this then you have a problem if your code doesn't do something to counter it. > > 2.

Then use htmlentities() to retrieve the pages. grand. so then he'll have stuff like '>body<' probably not what he wants - granted you can use regular expressions to change all the content *between* the tags he actually wants to output which be closer to the to what he might want but even then you have to be careful not to 'entitize' stuff that was already existing as html entities in the data coming from the DB otherwise he ends up with stuff like: '&lt; &amp; &gt; are characters with special meaning in HTML and should be html encoded as &amp;lt; &amp;amp; &amp;gt;'.
