MySQL (or maybe PHP) Problem

[evenstar7139]

On my last server I enjoyed the luxury of having it put a \ in front of all my single quotations in my strings for me so MySQL wouldn't have a heart attack when they were inserted into the database. But I have a my own server now and apparently MySQL (or PHP?) doesn't do that. How do I turn that on?

I'm using PHP 5, if it matters.

Err nevermind I figured it out! Moderators you can lock this thread.

For future reference:

You can either modify the default ini setting " magic_quotes_runtime", or you can use str_replace on the ' and " characters inside your query.

Yes correct and also you can do it with addslashes (http://www.php.net/addslashes) too
