Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I still get the escaped quotes, maybe not the answer to my problem. Any hard-coded html performs OK, just the stuff generated by PHP which shows the escaped quotes and doesn’t obey CSS or URL’s.

Thanks Aaron, you’re quite correct. Also worth noting that array_walk_recursive is not available in PHP4.

As far as I know changing magic_quotes_gpc in code will not affect the global arrays since they’ve already been processed.

I think it might be useful to your readers to point out the reason why you created this function in this particular way instead of using the array_walk_recursive function. My first thought was that – but you’ll notice how it won’t handle keys with the contents of arrays

Also, one wonders – could you find a test for using ini_set() on magic quotes first?
