[FX.php List] FX.php and textarea problem

[Derrick Fogle]

Magic_quotes is a PHP setting that automatically escapes quotes,  
apostrophes, and a few other special characters.

create a file (test.php or something like that) on the server with  
nothing but:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

in it, and call it up.

Look under Configuration -> PHP Core for magic_quotes_gpc. If it's  
not on, that means the characters aren't getting escaped. The default  
setting is for this to be on, if it's not you'll need to track down  
your php.ini file and search for the magic_quotes settings. Or, use  
addslashes() where you need characters escaped (but that gets tedious  
after awhile).
