form data

[togno]

Hi,
I would like to know how does php exactly decodes text form datas.
For example, when a quote charactere is submited via a text control, the global variable that corresponds to this control contains an escaped quote "\'". This does not upset me, but I really need to know which char are escaped, which are not etc ...
I haven't found any documentation on this. Could someone give me a hint ?
thanks

Hmm, just forgotten to ask:
Does the encoding used by php for form datas exactly correspond to the AddSlashes/StripSlashes functions ?

Look up the following in the manual:

magic_quotes_runtime (configuration)
magic_quotes_gpc (configuration)

get_magic_quotes_gpc() (function)
get_magic_quotes_runtime() (function)

And yes, the addslashes() and stripslashes() functions are used in this context.

If magic_quotes_gpc is turned on, all incoming text from forms will be escaped with backslashes to that you can run it right into MySQL without causing the flux capacitor to overload and knock you back to 1885.
