[RESOLVED] About flat file and \t \n

[whisher06]

Hi.
I'm working on a little blog based
on flat files.
The rows are separeted in this way
field1."\t".field2."\t".field3."\n"
the great headache is:
if magic_quotes_gpc is ON
\t become \t or not ?
I mean if the code is:
list($value1,$value2,$value3) =explode("\t",$row)
or rtrim($row) I get into troubles or not ?

The setting for magic_quotes_gpc would make no difference here, since the "\t" and "\n" are just ways to write special characters.

It's no trouble,is it ?
In PHP \0 (NULL), \r (carriage return), \n (newline) and \t (tab) are predefined escape sequences www.php.net
The troubles were about this addcslashes($data,"\n\r\t\") found in a script (Flog).
Bye.

Whenever you have \n, \t, etc. inside double quotes, PHP immediately replaces that sequence with a special character. For \n, this character is decimal # 13, octal # 015, hex # D, etc.

This happens before the string is passed to the function. So the slashes() functions never see a literal \ and a literal n, instead they see the special character mentioned above.
