This is done because magic_quotes_gpc is turned on. This makes it
possible to just insert submitted data into a MySQL database, without
preparing it first.
You can turn it off if you have access to the server config, or.. you
can do this:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value) {
// if you're into globals
$$key = stripslashes($value);
// otherwise -- not sure if this'll work or not
// if $HTTP_POST_VARS is read-only then it won't.
$HTTP_POST_VARS[$key] = stripslashes($value);
}
}
At the beginning of your scripts. If you do that, don't forget to *not*
use global values.
