Turning off magic quotes doesn't repair the data already in your database. It sounds like data has previously been inserted into the database after having been escaped twice. You can examine a few records and check whether this is the case. If this is what has happened, I suggest writing a simple utility to repair all of the data in the database (running stripslashes() should do the trick), then you won't have to worry about it again. Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett http://shiflett.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
