Have you looked at the contents of the $_POST array?
printf("<pre>%s</pre>", print_r($_POST, true));
The variable name and button label (value) of the submit button is clearly one
of the pieces of data which is submitted.
None of the code he provided inserts into your database table. If the wrong
variable and value is being inserted, that code must be examined.
This is the line in the php.ini file which controls Magic Quotes:
magic_quotes_gpc = On
If you do find you can change the file, you will also have to restart Apache
for it to be effective.
It is probably easier to put an ini_set() function call at the top of your
script if you want to turn off magic_quotes_gpc:
ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc", 0);
You may find that you don't have permission to change this parameter and it
could throw an error.
You can code around this. It is not necessary to change this common
configuration value.
