get_magic_quotes_gpc() in PHP problem ?

[Hal Halloway]

If I uncomment the code with "mysql_real_esc ape_string" the update does
not work. I thought it's pretty "safe" code. What could be wrong? i just
upgraded to PHP5 if that's a factor - not sure...but magic_quotes was
turned after the upgrade but i turned it off :^p


....
$update_page = "UPDATE howto_temp.page SET page.title = '$temp_title',
descrip = '$temp_descrip' WHERE page.page_id = '$posted_pk '";

//if (!get_magic_quo tes_gpc()) {
// $update_page = mysql_real_esca pe_string($upda te_page);
//}

mysql_query($up date_page);
