Description:
------------
Using PHP4.1.2-7.3.6 (standard RH73). 
Magic_quotes seems to turn on at random, displaying \" in the output instead of ". Reloading the page switches this behaviour between correct and wrong output at random. There is no pattern and sometimes the problem does not appear for hours. Restarting httpd sets PHP pages back to correct output for about 1 hour. We experience the problem with PHPsysinfo and PHPNuke, but not with PHPmyadmin, Squirrelmail or phpBB. I've recompiled PHP without enable_magic_quotes but this does not help. I've added a check for the setting of the magic_quotes variable but this always returns 0, even though slashed quotes are present in the page. PHPinfo can be viewed on http://eenvoortwee.nl/. 
Upgrading to PHP4.2+ is not really an option unless absolutely necessary (production machine). PHPsysinfo output can be viewed on http://eenvoortwee.nl/si/


Reproduce code:
---------------
http://eenvoortwee.nl/si/
as mentioned; the problem is displayed at random and my not be visible every time.

Expected result:
----------------
SNIP
<td width="15" height="15" 
SNIP

Actual result:
--------------
SNIP
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\" 
SNIP

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Dupe of bug #25753
