tx Rolf!
Yes, indeed. by default, on the newest releases of the php.ini file,
magic_quotes_gpc is turned off.
Of course one can switch it on/off running single scripts. The ini file in
fact mentions in the introduction that is has changed.
but.. why does php change default parameters, especially when releasing
minor upgrades/patch levels. This stuff can take loads of time from the
programmer, just by changing platform version from v4.01 to 4.04pl1....
regards,
rene
