get_magic_quotes_gpc()

Hi,

Is there a function, directive, define, or piece of code you can put at the top of your .php files that stops magic quotes if it's globally ON where a php file is being executed? (at runtime)

In other words I want to say something like "if magic qutoes are on turn them off for this file".

This magic quote thing is driving me crazy. If I'm looping to edit something or a person abandons their edits and backs up a page things are getting messed up for me.....

I just as soon give up on the darn thing and take responisbility myself no matter which way its set on the server.

Any advice, or code examples??

Thanks,
Darrell

In .htaccess add these lines:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime Off

If that doesn't work use

php_value magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_value magic_quotes_runtime Off

Thanks Raven,

But those don't feel quite right. As I pass my code around from person to person and server to server I'd have to constantly keep telling people to make these changes.

Isent there a php code based solution to turning magic quotes off??

Thanks,
Darrell

I found something.

Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

Would set_magic_quotes_runtime() apply to only the current file being executed?

Then if so I'd need this at the top of all files I want to turn it off...

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);

Is that right??

Just pass the .htaccess file with your code. this is, by far, the easiest and the best way, imo.

Why even check? Just set them both off at the beginning of each script. Either way (.htaccess or this) will work.
