Hey John, Thanks for replying. I cant use strip slashes because there are a number of scripts doing DB things and searching for all of them and modifying things just for one client can be a royal PITA.
I tried to use "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off" in the *existing* .htaccess file like so: php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off AuthUserFile /c36/admin/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Password Protected Area" AuthType Basic <limit GET POST> require valid-user </limit> But then am getting a 500 error... any ideas?
