i have no idea whats going on. none I apparently broke my blog software and it isn’t allowing me to post. of this makes any sense. maybe its time.ok I figured it out. basically the new php.ini was all “secure” and such and removed the magic quotes. so my app - which submitted my entries to a db needed to cleansed with the addslashes() function. w00t. my applications from 2001 are failing. doh.
