Is the Logic for get_magic_quotes_gpc backwards?

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 16:17:29 +0000

I was having issues with words containing apostrophes like Bob's and quotes like "QUOTES". I was getting slashes like it was escaping and found the logic for magic quotes may be reversed.

I have inverted the logic in qa-base.php and it seems to work, but this may be a bad solution. Would someone please confirm.

This works (extracted from qa-base.php):

function qa_gpc_to_string($string)
/*
Return string for incoming GET/POST/COOKIE value, stripping slashes if appropriate
*/
{
//return get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($string) : $string;
return get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $string : stripslashes($string);
}

function qa_string_to_gpc($string)
/*
Return string with slashes added, if appropriate for later removal by qa_gpc_to_string()
*/
{
//return get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? addslashes($string) : $string;
return get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $string : addslashes($string);
}
