mysql and php question: the magic_quotes_gpc is set to 1. when i echo it to the browser, it shows the added slashes. i inserted these same values into a database. when i read the database values and printed them, i forgot to use stripslashes. but i was surprised to see that the slashes were already removed. now i know this depends on magic_quotes_runtime, which i checked, was OFF, so how did the slashes get removed without me explicitly doing so?
what's more interesting is that when i view the data in the table using phpMyAdmin, the quote i put wasn't escaped with a backslash. when i tried to do a dump/export of the table, the output showed a backslash before the quote. so how come? the slashes should be showing when i say SELECT * FROM MYTABLE. abs ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
