Click on "Try Again" and you'll see the quotes become
escaped and then not escaped seemingly at random.

The code is here:
http://airbag.tss.peachnet.edu/~sam/file.txt

http://airbag.tss.peachnet.edu/info.php
is the phpinfo information.

Sorry, file.txt should work now. I saw you hit the 404.

That does seem odd...

Try get_magic_quotes_runtime() instead of get_magic_quotes_gpc() - gpc quoting only happens to get/post/cookie data.
 [2001-05-01 20:03 UTC] phpbug at samrowe dot com 
Changed. Looks like the runtime var is getting turned on and
off... what's up wit dat?! :)
 [2001-05-01 20:15 UTC] zak@php.net 
Could you post the relevant section of your php.ini file?
 [2001-05-01 20:17 UTC] phpbug at samrowe dot com 
; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data.
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from
SQL, from exec(), etc.magic_quotes_runtime = Off
 [2001-05-01 20:25 UTC] zak@php.net 
If this:

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from
SQL, from exec(), etc.magic_quotes_runtime = Off    

is literal, it should be:

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from
SQL, from exec(), etc.
magic_quotes_runtime = Off

yea, lost a line break in there... it's as it should be in
the php.ini. Sorry about that.
 [2001-05-01 20:54 UTC] zak@php.net 
The php.ini parser may behave strangely when presented with broken lines, semi-randomly turning features on and off.  

IMHO not a giant issue - if I get a chance, I will take a closer look at it.
 [2001-05-01 21:05 UTC] phpbug at samrowe dot com 
Semi-randomly?

There are no odd lines in my php.ini...

I need this to work for my app! :)
 [2001-05-01 21:19 UTC] zak@php.net 
Damn... misread last comment. Have asked user to send me relevant code.  I would guess that something simple to fix on here...
 [2001-05-01 23:07 UTC] zak@php.net 
Hmmm... maybe we do have a bug here...

There are no calls to magic_quotes_runtime().
There are no includes, requires or auto_(pre|ap)pend_files.
The php.ini files and apache conf files don't set magic_quotes_runtime.
And there are no other scripts on the box that call magic_quotes_runtime() or set_ini ('magic_quotes_runtime', 'On');

So, right now it does seem that magic_quotes_runtime does to randomly turn on and off.

Calls to get_magic_quotes_runtime() accurately report whether magic_quotes_runtime is active, while phpinfo() reports that magic_quotes_runtime is off - both locally and the master value.

Initial reports indicated that the bug may have been related to file(), however, the problem can be reproduced using fopen() as well - see http://airbag.tss.peachnet.edu/~sam/fopen.php and http://airbag.tss.peachnet.edu/~sam/fopen.txt.

Anyone have any ideas here - I am coming up blank.

Marked as to be fixed before 4.0.6
 [2001-05-10 09:27 UTC] zeev@php.net 
Do you have any settings for magic_quotes_runtime in your httpd.conf or .htaccess files?
 [2001-05-10 09:38 UTC] zeev@php.net 
Also, has anybody managed to reproduce it?  I can't.
 [2001-05-15 08:55 UTC] phpbug at samrowe dot com 
updating to today's (4-15-01) CVS fixed it...
 [2001-05-15 08:58 UTC] kalowsky@php.net 
user notes fixed in cvs
