Backslash removed when sending POST

[sb0310]

I use a form to edit files on my server.
This has been ok, but now after upgrading both Apache and PHP, if the file i edit has a backslash \ it will be removed when i post it.

Apache 1.3.29
PHP 4.3.4

it worked with the same config of both, with these versions:

Apache 1.3.27
PHP 4.3.1

anybody else experienced this? Any suggestions?

PHP is configured with the php.ini-recommended file.

sounds like stripslashes() has been turned on. just do an addslashes() to your post data.

After going through the configuration closer, i see that the previous install of apache, i had not loaded mod_perl. After removing mod_perl it is working ok again. So it seems it may be an apache - mod_perl thing.

I'll try with addslashes as well (tonight), though the php configuration has been unchanged, so it is possible this is a apache behavior.

Thanks for your input.
