Frankly, I've never quite "gotten" the whole quoting thing in PHP.
If magic_quotes_gpc is turned on in the environment: 1. I don't see slashes in any form variables outputted with echo() or print() Does this mean that these functions effectively remove the slashes? 2. After posting the form variables, I don't see slashes when I view the MySQL data in phpMyAdmin? 3. I do see slashes in e-mail messages sent with mail() using these variables. 4. Why would you need to add slashes to anything put in a mysql database? Can someone shed some light on what is going on? -- Bruce Vander Werf [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
