Question

I use Zend framework with doctrine for a project , the problem is that when i insert in database a string like O’Shea it inserts O\’Shea.
I guess this is because of double escaping. One when i get the post and one when i use doctrine, why when i print_r($_POST) i get values already escaped?

the syntax of doctrine query is:

$req = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
$company = Doctrine::getTable('Project_Model_Companies')->find($company_id);
$company->name = $req['name'];
$company->save();

Please help me how to avoid this double escaping, or what is the problem?
Thanks.

Sounds like magic_quote_gpc is turned on.

You can check wether magic qoutes are enabled or not with get_magic_quotes_gpc

echo (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? 'Magic qoutes Enabled' : "Magic qoutes Disabled";

I would highly recommend Disabling Magic Quotes.

Try the following .htaccess file directive :

php_value magic_quotes_gpc Off 

Or in your php.ini

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
