Re: [PHP] newbie - PHP escaping trigger happy
IIRC. That's covered under magic quotes . You should be able to turn that off via a config switch in php.ini or .htaccess. -Original Message- From: Govinda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 20:21:10 To: PHP-General Listphp-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] newbie - PHP escaping trigger happy Just a quick Q, which I know has to be in the docs somewhere, but I haven't come across it yet- PHP automatically escaping single and double quotes... how to turn it off?

Re: [PHP] newbie - PHP escaping trigger happy
You guys got me on the right track, but: On my Mac OS10.5.4/Apache2/webmin local (dev) setup (of which I know very little) I managed to find php.ini.default, make a copy while renaming to php.ini, open the copy (php.ini), and change that on to an off (the only one of the 3 that was on). So now in that file, here is what I have: ; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data. magic_quotes_gpc = Off ; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc. magic_quotes_runtime = Off ; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \'). magic_quotes_sybase = Off I go into webmin -- PHP and 'hand-edit' the PHP config file to convince myself that what I did should be recognized by Apache/PHP, and the textarea contents match. So, WHY is php still escaping my quotes? -Govinda On Sep 2, 2008, at 10:36 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: IIRC. That's covered under magic quotes .

Re: [PHP] newbie - PHP escaping trigger happy
1) did you restart the server to take advantage of the new settings? 2) are you sure you're running the php.ini at all? (run phpinfo() from a page to make sure that the server has read the right copy of php.ini) On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 4:12 PM, Govinda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You guys got me on the right track, but: On my Mac OS10.5.4/Apache2/webmin local (dev) setup (of which I know very little) I managed to find php.ini.default, make a copy while renaming to php.ini, open the copy (php.ini), and change that on to an off (the only one of the 3 that was on).

When we're that green, we don't know OT from T. 2) are you sure you're running the php.ini at all? (run phpinfo() from a page to make sure that the server has read the right copy of php.ini) Um.. no I wasn't. Now I can check that all by myself too.
