magic_quotes_gpc

[Planet IBX]

We just tested our server to see if it was compatible with a vB forum install, and it said that magic_quotes_gpc failed. What is this, and how will it effect the forum?

Thanks.

In that posts, it says vB will run fine.

magic_quotes_gpc boolean
Sets the magic_quotes state for GPC (Get/Post/Cookie) operations. When magic_quotes are on, all ' (single-quote), " (double quote), \ (backslash) and NUL's are escaped with a backslash automatically.

Note: If the magic_quotes_sybase directive is also ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc. Having both directives enabled means only single quotes are escaped as ''. Double quotes, backslashes and NUL's will remain untouched and unescaped.
