strange problem with stripslashes

[lawrence]

Over on www.monkeyclaus.org I'm getting back slashes showing up on my
web pages, where this function outputs. This despite the explicit use
of stripslashes(). Does anyone know why this might be?









function printRecentWebl ogEntries($numb erToGet=5, $htmlSeparator= "") {

global $sql, $config;

extract($config );



$recentEntries = getRecentWeblog Entries($number ToGet);

if ($recentEntries ) $recentEntries = processArray($r ecentEntries,
"stripslashes") ;

echo "\n\n\n<div class=\"recentW eblogEntries\"> ";

echo "These are the most recent weblog entries on this website:";

if ($htmlSeparator == "") echo "<table
class=\"recentW eblogEntriesTab le\"><tr><td>" ;



for ($i=0; $i < count($recentEn tries); $i++) {

if ($i != 0 && $htmlSeparator == "") echo "</td><td>";
if ($htmlSeparator != "") echo $htmlSeparator;

$entry = $recentEntries[$i];

extract($rwArra y=$sql->putEntryIntoNa medArray($entry ));

$cbMainContent = stripslashes($c bMainContent);

$cbHeadline = stripslashes($c bHeadline);

$cbMainContent = strip_tags($cbM ainContent);

$cbMainContent = substr($cbMainC ontent, 0, 120);



echo "

<a href=\"$self?pa geId=$cbId\">

$cbHeadline - $cbMainContent <br> Posted by: $cbUserName

</a>

";

}





if ($htmlSeparator == "")echo "</td></tr></table>";

echo "</div>\n\n\n";



}

Re: strange problem with stripslashes

Aha! GPC and magic quotes - boooooo!

check out

http://au2.php.net/manual/en/ref.info.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc

I do this for applications which may be deployed on web servers I have
no control over...

if(isset($_POST ) && get_magic_quote s_gpc()) {
foreach($_POST AS $key=>$val) $_POST[$key] = stripslashes($v al);
}


I chould probably change $_POST to $_REQUEST...

see http://au2.php.net/manual/en/languag...predefined.php for
more info on these variables.
