Hm, good thinking. http://www.psduua.org/?action=phpinfo shows that the
local value for magic_quotes_sybase is off, but the master value is on.
Could that cause a problem? How does one change the master value?
(how did it get turned on, when it was off for the enclosing directory?
I checked all the .htaccess files...)
Thanks for your attention, Pm! Hope all's well with you and your
family. --Ben
