Post Slashes
When I post from a form to PHP, on one server the post:
Looks just like that when I echo it out in PHP, but on another server, when I echo it out, it looks like this:\
\\
\\\
\\\\
What is causing the difference, and how do I fix it? Both servers use PHP 5, but both are different OS (one is win Vista, the other-- which adds the slashes-- is Linux).\\

it could be magic_quotes_gpc is enabled on the one server and not the other. That's one thing that I could think of off the top of my head.

Can that be turned off at runtime?

Put the following in your .htaccess file
Code:php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

you can disable it in the php.ini file, if that's what you mean.
Edit: sorry techietim, cross post.

Well, I can't get at the php.ini file, and the .htaccess causes errors. I don't know why, but I suspect the server doesn't like changes to server settings.any other options?

Talk to your host or use ini_set in your php script.any other options?

Thanks a million, guys. I created a if/else statement to get around it. Hopefully that will solve it all.
