Hi all,The defaults are runtime off and gpc on. As you refer specifically to slashes in mysql data I assume that the runtime one is more relevant to what you are doing. If your code runs properly with runtime off then you are doing the addslashes/stripslashes as intended. With the same code and runtime on then you will get double slashes.
Can I just have a quick head check on magic quotes runtime (&gpc)?
I have them both set to Off currently, and my pages work fine. However, when I set them to on, I end up with slashes throughout the mysql data.
Is this the expected behaviour? Seems counter-intuitive to me, but I've never really cared about it 'till today, because i've never had a problem!!
What is a common setting for these two directives, so that I can have my LAN server *reasonably* "normal".
I had reason to look at this in the manual yesterday and it seems the magic_quotes_runtime turned on is aimed more at beginners (but I could be wrong).
What I have done is to do the addslashes/stripslashes assuming magic_quotes_runtime is off then force it off within my code beforehand with:
if (ini_get('magic_quotes_runtime') == 1)
{
if (ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime','Off') == false)
{
echo "ERROR: Could not turn off magic_quotes_runtime\n";
}
}I found that ini_set would through an error if the seting was already made, hence the initial check. So far this seems OK, but it was only yesterday...
If anyone else has a better suggestion, I'd be pleased to hear it.
