It made no difference. (from before) /etc/php5/apache2 is a centralized directory; i surprised you even have access to it on a shared host. do you have your own instance of linux? either way i sincerely doubt thats the web directory. i would try putting a .htaccess file in your web root. php_flag magic_quotes_gpc = Off when you look at the output of phpinfo() there will be 2 columns. one has the heading 'master value' the other has the heading 'local value' is the local value different than the master value? it should be if the .htaccess file is working correctly (though you many not have permission to use them [but it is typical to allow php configuration via .htaccess on shared hosts]). -nathan
