I never said it was the web directory ... I said that's where php.ini is being loaded from. The web directory is /var/www ... that's where the php.ini I *WANT* loaded is. ...and, yes, I have my own Linux machine that I use for testing. > 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]).
