The magic quotes feature now adds them where it didn't 
before, for instance when reading lines in from a flatfile 
and parsing each as an array, the array members end up
'magic quoted.' This wasn't a behavior of php2 with magic 
quotes enabled. Kind of a nuisance to have to stripslashes() 
not only on the way into the flat file from a form, but on 
the way back out to display it.

There are now two different configuration settings
to control the magic quotes behavior --

magic_quotes_gpc controls whether data received via
GET. POST. and Cookie variables get escaped (which
you may want if you usually shove this data into an
SQL database).

magic_quotes_runtime controls whether data received
via other mechanisms (such as the file() function)
gets escaped.

It sounds like you want to turn magic_quotes_runtime
off.
