[SOLVED] slashes added

[ballouta]

Hi, I am sending for example this text from my php form to my email address:

 

Though I was leery at first, I am now officially excited to see one of my favorite documentaries of all time as a feature film: "Grey Gardens," starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore.

 

When i get the email, i have \" AND \'.

Why? how I can solve this?

 

Thank you

Check if you have magic_quotes enabled

[ballouta]

sorry but where do i check it?!

[Axeia]

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then search in your browser for magic.

 

Or take a look at the get_magic_quotes_gpc function.

[ballouta]

echo get_magic_quotes_gpc();

 

it returned 1

 

now what shall I do?

 

thank you

[Axeia]

1 = true (0 = false)

So yes you have magic quotes enabled.

Add set_magic_quotes_runtime( false ); to the top of your script.

[Mchl]

If you have access to your php.ini file, you can disable them all together.

And since magic_quotes_gpc (which cannot be turned off in the script) and magic_quotes_runtime (can be turned off in the script) are two different things, if the offending single and double quotes were in fact coming from form input, this thread is not actually solved.
