I've continued plowing my way thru the 2nd edition of PHP and MySQL Web Development by Welling and Thomson. I've made it to chapter 24, where I've just read that for this chapter's project I "will need to have switched on magic quotes" or use addslashes() and stripslashes().
So I checked via phpinfo() and found magic_quotes_gpc "On", but magic_quotes_runtime and magic_quotes_sybase both "Off".
Now I'm guessing that magic_quotes_runtime is the one I need to have on, but is that so? I'm also guessing that aside from using addslashes() and stripslashes(), I could prob'ly turn on magic_quotes in php_ini.
The book is talking about magic_quotes_gpc, which you say is already on. The "runtime" version applies to data coming _out_ of the database (which is usually kept off) and "sybase" refers to escaping single quotes with another single quote (instead of the normal backslash). If you're using MySQL, you don't need the "sybase" directive on.
