if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $value = stripslashes($value);

// ...or, at the beginning of your script:

if (isset($_POST) and get_magic_quotes_gpc()) array_walk_recursive($_POST,create_function('&$value',"\$value = stripslashes(\$value);"));

session_start();
//include config.php file
include('config.php');
include_once 'header.php';
?>

<?php
$p = $_GET['p'];
//see my ?id= browsing tutorial
if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){ ?>
<form action='login.php' method='POST'>

$r=mysql_fetch_array($sql);
?>
<form name="update" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">
<table  cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="400">

  	</tr>
	<tr>
    	<td>About Me:</td>
    	<td><textarea cols="50" rows="5" input type="text/html"  name="aboutme" value="" /><? echo $r['aboutme'];  ?></textarea></td>
  	</tr>
        <td>Likes:</td>

  	<tr>
    	<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="update" value="Update Profile" ></td>
  	</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?
}

}
?>

so where would i put that code exactly?

lewis987 · May 15, 2007

you can use either,

try this code then

<?php
if (isset($_POST) and get_magic_quotes_gpc()) array_walk_recursive($_POST,create_function('&$value',"\$value = stripslashes(\$value);"));
ob_start();
session_start();
//include config.php file
include('config.php');
include_once 'header.php';
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<style>
.words
{
background-color:#16333B;
color:#A9D033;
}
</style>
<?php
$p = $_GET['p'];
//see my ?id= browsing tutorial
if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){ ?>
<form action='login.php' method='POST'>
	You Must Be logged in to View this page!<br>
	Login here:<br>
	Username: <input type='text' name='username' class='words'><br>
                Password: <input type='password' name='password' class='words'><br>
	<input name='login' type='submit' value='Submit' class='words'><br>
	Not <a href="../register.php">registered</a>?
</form> 
<?php
exit();
}
else{
if($_POST['update']){
	// Get Posted Variables...
	$fullname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fullname']);
	$aboutme = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['aboutme']);
	$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
                $likes = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['likes']);
                $hates = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['hates']);
	$id = $_SESSION['id'];



	// Get Sandy's record from the "example" table
                 
	$result = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET  `aboutme` =  '$aboutme', `email` =  '$email', `fullname` =  '$fullname', `likes` = '$likes', `hates` = '$hates' WHERE  id = '$id'") or die(mysql_error());  


header("Refresh:2");
echo "<B>Profile Updated</B><br><br>";

} else { 

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '{$id}'") or die(mysql_error());
$are=mysql_fetch_array($sql);
?>
<form name="update" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">
<table  cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="400">
<tr>
    	<td wdith="35%">Username:</td>
    		<td><?php echo $are['username']; ?></td>
  	</tr>  
        <tr>

    		<td><?php echo $are['id']; ?></td>
  	</tr>  
  	<tr>
    	<td>Full Name:</td>
    		<td><input type="text" name="fullname" value="<?php echo $are['fullname']; ?>" /></td>
  	</tr>
<tr>
    	<td>Email Address:</td>
    	<td><input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $are['email']; ?>" /></td>
  	</tr>
	<tr>
    	<td>About Me:</td>
    	<td><textarea cols="50" rows="5" input type="text/html"  name="aboutme" value="" /><? echo $are['aboutme'];  ?></textarea></td>
  	</tr>
        <td>Likes:</td>
    	<td><textarea cols="50" rows="5" name="likes"><? echo $are['likes']; ?></textarea></td>

now i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: array_walk_recursive() in /home/pokebash/public_html/getmetola/editprofile.php on line 2

Wildbug · May 15, 2007

array_walk_recursive() is only PHP 5+. Do you have an older version?

There are user-written alternatives around for that functionality. Otherwise, just use the single case on the variable that's giving you trouble.

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $value = stripslashes($value);

quickstopman · May 15, 2007

still for some reason the /'s still appear...

do you think i should change the type of the row in the database

quickstopman · May 15, 2007
