Stephen, that page specifies the exact same line for the .htaccess that
he said he used. I'm not sure why it would cause an internal server
error, but I've seen some Apache configurations completely flake over
lines in the .htaccess that were fine elsewhere.

The only thing I can find online where this line will cause a server
error is where the server is set up to allow custom php.ini files which
override the defaults. To test this, try adding a php.ini file into the
directory your script is (this is completely untested, I just saw it on
a forum (http://www.bluehostforum.com/archive/index.php/t-15975.html ))
and enter the regular php.ini line to turn it off.

If that fails, I'd try and contact your hosting provider and see what
they say, as they probably have more information specific to this
problem, as it's most likely a setting of theirs that is causing it.

I'm trying to set it directly and not have to incl in every script I write.

Solved.

Had to have my host provider put a copy of php.ini in my public_html and 
then I made the magic quotes setting change.

Interesting - running a phpinfo command still shows the setting as On 
becuase it returns the server's settigns, NOT my individual folder setting.

That won't work, because by the time the server comes to process the
script, the data has already been processed. In effect, that line will
do nothing.

Spoke to quickly - still having issues.  While the .ini file in each of my 
appl. folders has magic quotes set to Off, my scripts are still escaping my 
input - obviously following the server's .ini file settings.  Waiting for my 
hosters to get back to me.

You could refer them to:

http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php

Indicate that magic quotes have deprecated, and ask them to turn them off.

But they will say no, because of all the other users on the server 
that you use.


In the end, you will be left with stripping the slashes on your own:


?php
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$process = array($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_REQUEST);
while (list($key, $val) = each($process)) {
foreach ($val as $k = $v) {
unset($process[$key][$k]);
if (is_array($v)) {
$process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = $v;
$process[] = $process[$key][stripslashes($k)];
} else {
$process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = stripslashes($v);
}
}
}
unset($process);
}
?

I know it is not the answer you are looking for, but it does work, and 
used by thousands of coders.


Stephen
