Sorry for another post, but just to clarify on my previous post, is
there a proper configuration with any/all of the magic_quotes values so
that I can "safely" accept data and interact with my DB without using
addslashes/deleteslashes everywhere?

Also, when I look in my MySQL tables through the command prompt, if
records with single quotes do not show up as escaped by /, am I doing
something wrong? Thanks again.
