[RESOLVED] Quote issue

[reeksy]

Hi

Ive got a problem with a script. magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime are both on on the server.

When i print out a raw POSTed array i get single quotes quoted. So if i submit the following:

Jon's test

and then

print '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
print '</pre>';

...I get the following:

Jon''s test

Is this beacuse magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime are both on?

[Jack_McSlay]

no, just because of the magic_quotes_gpc.

it's recommended not to use either, as they're deprecated

The double quoting would appear to be a result of having magic_quotes_sybase turned on. Unless you are working with legacy applications that require any of these magic_quote_* settings, I would strongly recommend turning them all off. Even if you need them for some old code, you could compartmentalize that code into separate sub-directories and turn on the requisite quoting via a .htaccess file local to those directories. Eventually you'll want to migrate them away from this dependency as neither magic_quotes_gpc nor magic_quotes_runtime will be available in PHP 6.
