I'm trying to set magic quotes Off as my reading tells me that it's not good to have it defaulted to On. My ISP has this setting (from PHPINFO call): magic_quotes_gpc on >From reading the php.net manual I found this line php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on which it says to place in the .htaccess file. I downloaded that file from my server's public_html folder, edited it to put in the above line (which now says "Off") and re-uploaded it. Boom! My server no longer works - I get "Internal Server Error" "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration....." If I re-edit my .htaccess, remove the line and re-upload, everything works fine. So - what am I mis-interpreting about how to accomplish this task? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
