title: how to disable magic quotes using go daddy server?
body: <p>I am hosting my site with go daddy and I am trying to disable magic quotes because at the moment i am getting text in my mysql table showing as <code>jame'/s</code> rather than just <code>jame's</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried doing this in <code>.htaccess</code> by adding:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off' 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this causes a 505 error.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to do <code>php.ini</code> and added:</p>
  
  <pre><code>magic_quotes_gpc = Off;
  magic_quotes_runtime = Off;
  magic_quotes_sybase = Off;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I have tried doing <code>php5.ini</code> with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>magic_quotes_gpc = Off;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nothing is working for me and I'm still getting a <code>\</code> where every <code>'</code> should be. Why is it displayed like that? What can I do to get rid of <code>\</code>.</p>
