Change to PHP on NINE

[SneakyDave]

Was there a change when PHP was upgraded on nine regarding the behavior of apostrophe's?
In the past, I didn't have to use stripslashes() before sending output to the page, but now it seems I have to, because backslashes are appearing everywhere.

Just wondering?

There was a recent configuration change made for PHPLIB-7 compliance...

magic_quotes_gpc boolean
Sets the magic_quotes state for GPC (Get/Post/Cookie) operations. When magic_quotes are on, all ' (single-quote), " (double quote), \ (backslash) and NUL's are escaped with a backslash automatically. If magic_quotes_sybase is also on, a single-quote is escaped with a single-quote instead of a backslash.
At this junction, you have 1 of 2 options:
1) Use stripslashes() where necessary
2) Create an .htaccess file in your www directory (or whatever directory need apply) and include 'magic_quotes_gpc off'

The 'quoting' will be automagical now removing the need to utilize addslashes() for certain types of input...[nbsp][nbsp]Also several other PHP libraries are dependent upon this setting being turned on in the core...

Yep, adding stripslashes() did it. Thanks for the update.
