ini help!

[Masna]

I'm working with ini_set. There's an option, magic_quotes_gpc, that, when on, ruins the software project I'm working on. But, I'm having trouble turning it off. I tried this:

ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc", "0");

But, that fails. Anyone?

If you don't need slashes in $POST and $GET there is another solution without changing ini settings:

<?php

function StripMagicQuotes($arr) {
  reset($arr);
  while( list($key,$value) = each($arr) ) {
    if( is_array($value) ) {
      $arr[$key] = StripMagicQuotes($value);
    } else {
      if( is_string($value) )
        $arr[$key] = stripslashes($value);
    }
  }
  return $arr;
}

if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() > 0 ) {
  $_POST = StripMagicQuotes($_POST);
  $_GET = StripMagicQuotes($_GET);
}

?>

try off istead of 0

According to PHP manual "magic_quotes_gpc" directive cannot be set at runtime.
The only directive can be set at runtime is "magic_quotes_runtime", but there is no effect on POST and GET variables.

Is there another option? I read somewhere that .htaccess is an alternative.

Bumping is refrained against... so is cross-posting!
