Problem with escape_str

[eluser]Glen Swinfield[/eluser]
Check the change log - http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...gelog.html now, if magic quotes is on all data is stripslashed. In effect resetting the effect of magic_quotes anyway.

This is something I used to do with a pre_system hook - just return all post, get and cookie vars with stripslashes - though apparently it's not neccessary now.
