It did work I was expecting a physical change in the form display as the form field values are set to stripslashes values. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Lynch [mailto:ceo@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 12:20 AM To: k3cheese Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: magic quotes "runtime data" means "data that is coming out of your database at runtime" as opposed to "gpc data" which means "data from GET/POST/COOKIE" It most certainly does NOT mean that you can't modify the data you have received in any way you choose. Can you clarify "Didn't work at all." for us? Or, perhaps, see if what you think is happening is happening: <?php echo "<pre>BEFORE:\n"; var_dump($_POST); echo "</pre>"; if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')){ echo "ALTERING<br />\n"; $_POST['data'] = stripslashes($_POST['data']); echo "<pre>AFTER:\n"; var_dump($_POST); echo "</pre>"; } ?> Because using stripslashes to un-do the evil effects of magic_quotes_gpc is pretty much a no-brainer... .htaccess might not work for a number of reasons, such as: You're not using Apache. .htaccess is turned off in your httpd.conf You didn't put .htaccess in the same directory as your PHP script On Wed, August 8, 2007 11:58 pm, k3cheese wrote: > I added the code to my script and I still ended up escaped quotes. > if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) $_POST['data'] = > stripslashes($_POST['data']); Didn't work at all.
