set_magic_quotes_runtime

bool set_magic_quotes_runtime(int setting Value) 

Modifies magic_quotes_runtime.

TRUE on success; FALSE on failure

Description:

Toggles the configuration of the magic_quotes_runtime directive for escaping quote marks in strings returned from sources such as databases. Turning on the directive magic_quotes_runtime removes the need for using the add_slashes() function. A single backslash is automatically placed in front of any backslashes or quotes that exist in any string argument. Null bytes are converted to \0.

Version:

Existing since version 3.0.6

Example:

Turn on magic_quotes_runtime

set_magic_quotes_runtime(1);
