Why in the HELL would you be escaping message text?? Are you scanning
and rewriting messages again? CGI form data is passed as a blob field
that can be fed to mixmaster directly. So unless you're scanning
individual lines as strings or worse yet words (gosh, why would you want
to do that) there's no reason for any of it.

Did you just out yourself? Yes, I believe you did!

It looks like the magic_quotes_gpc variable in the php ini file has to be
set to off. That's what I've been told and read. Although I made the
change, it hasn't had any effect, but I'll keep looking into it.

If he rewrites messages when running an *anonymous remailer*, did you
really expect him to not do that with a plain text web form?

Still, good luck to him. At least it isn't part of the remailer network
so the only users he has are people that have chosen to use him.

here's an example of how Eel immediately gets judged wrongly. It turns out
that php is doing the escaping, not Eel. This makes me wonder how much of
the other criticism of Eel is similarly unfounded.

W2N might be the wave of the future for anon posting.

You have no clue at all.

HTML form data is passed as environment variables. "PHP" is escaping
quote marks only because **someone** is parsing that data and handling
individual lines as strings for some reason. There's no cause what so
ever for doing that unless you're looking for something in particular.

This little "gotcha" is no less unfounded than even eeltard's admitted
and obvious rewriting of [BAD WORDS], you just don't know enough about
it to avoid making pathetic excuses for it.

(I cannot stand idly by any longer.)

you are one stupid XXXXing XXXXXXX.

The effect of magic_quotes_gbc  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP )  has
been repeatedly discussed here and goes over your head but you are such a
XXXXing moron that you call others stupid. You even ignored the reference
that somebody already posted yesterday. Yet you are going to astound the
world with your blazingly limited knowledge and try to educate us about
HTML form data. You don't even know what an environment variable is, you
complete and utter XXXXing XXXXXXX. This has  nothing to do with CGI
environment variables, you stupid shithead of an idiot. It is HTTP POST
data that is being talked about, handled by php which escapes certain
charcters as a convenience and as a safety precaution. This escaping was
turned on by default, but now in php 5 the php.ini-recomended file has it
as turned off, as well as turning off magic_quotes_runtime.

You have got to be the stupidest XXXXing XXXXXXX to post on this list in a
long, long time.

"handling individual lines as strings"????  What else are they, you
XXXXXXX?!?!?!?!? Somewhere you learned some catchphrases which you pretend
to understand.

You are one XXXXing stupid XXXXing moron. You impudent little piece of
talking shit. You are the dumbest of any kind of XXXXXXX: you refuse to
learn anything that is right in your face.

Haha...

=46rom your own cite:

"PHP has traditionally used features such as "magic_quotes_gpc" and
"magic_quotes_runtime" which attempt to escape apostrophes (') and
quotes (") in strings [...]"
^^^^^^^

Just like the poster stated. Unless the data sent by a form is being
handled or scanned in some way magic_quotes isn't an issue.

You were saying what about stupid XXXXing assholes again??? <snicker>
