Re: [PHP] php.ini setting
Spoke to quickly - still having issues. While the .ini file in each of my appl. folders has magic quotes set to Off, my scripts are still escaping my input - obviously following the server's .ini file settings.

[PHP] php.ini setting
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

Re: [PHP] php.ini setting
Solved. Had to have my host provider put a copy of php.ini in my public_html and then I made the magic quotes setting change. Interesting - running a phpinfo command still shows the setting as On becuase it returns the server's settigns, NOT my individual folder setting. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
