Bloomin Magic Quotes!

[youradds]

Argh..this is really getting on my nerves. I've tried disabling 'Magic Quotes' from my script with set_magic_quotes_runtime(0); at the top of my script..but that didn't work. I've also tried replacing all \" and \' with just " and ', but that doesn't want to work! Can anyone see why the code below will not replace the \" and \' chars?

$new = ereg_replace('\\"', '"', $line);
$new = ereg_replace("\\'", "'", $new);

Thanks for anyone who can help..this is really getting on my nerves

why don't you just use the stripslashes() function? It's not a lie if YOU believe it ;-)

It doesn't work At least not in the code I used.

Thanks

Could you post more of your code so we can see where you are getting the \" and\'.
If its from something like a textfield input then use
$text=stripslashes($textfieldinput) ***************************************

I've tried adding;

set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);

at the top of my script..

I've also got the following code to remove " and 's

// function for HTML
function set_message_cookie() {

// we have to set a cookie here, cos otherwise when we send the EMAIL later it screws up!

global $message, $debug;

if ($debug) { echo &quot;Calling set_message_cookie() sub... <BR>&quot;; }

$message_array = explode(&quot;\n,&quot;, $message);

foreach ($message_array as $line) {

  if (ereg(&quot;^<.+>.+&quot;,$line)) { 


        //$new = stripslashes($line);
        $new = ereg_replace('\\&quot;',  '&quot;', $line);
        $new = ereg_replace(&quot;\\'&quot;,  &quot;'&quot;, $new);
        $back_message .= $new;

  } else { 

     $back_message .= ereg_replace(&quot;\r&quot;,  &quot;<BR>&quot;, $message);

  }
}


//$message = ereg_replace(&quot;\r&quot;,  &quot;<BR>&quot;, $message);

$put = @fopen(&quot;message.txt&quot;, &quot;w+&quot;);
fputs ($put, $back_message);
fclose($put);
send_html_do();

}

OK, this will first remove the \ then the " then the ' from the $line.

$new=ereg_replace("'","",ereg_replace('"',"",stripslashes($line))); ***************************************
