Configuring the String Functions
There are no php.ini configuration directives that directly control the behavior of the string functions; however, a few configuration directives are very closely related, as shown in the following table.
| Directive Name | Value Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| magic_quotes_gpc | boolean (on/off) | If this directive is enabled, data received from GET/POST/Cookie sources or data parsed by parse_str() is processed automatically with the addslashes() function. |
| magic_quotes_runtime | boolean (on/off) | If this directive is enabled, data received from many functions that retrieve data from external sources (such as the database and program execution functions) is processed automatically with the addslashes() function. |
| magic_quotes_sybase |
