How to turn off magic quotes?

[Liquid]

I open my php.ini file (xampp -> php -> php.ini) and I find the line magic_quotes_gpc = On and I set it to magic_quotes_gpc = Off instead. But magic quotes is still working. Any idea why? I was never able to turn off magic quotes on my old machine either, but it didn't really matter as I used a function to check if magic quotes was on. But now I just want to completely turn it off. How would I do so?

Thanks.

Thats the wrong php.ini - run phpinfo() to find out, which php.ini is the right one.

The correct php.ini file is inside the apache/bin directory

Ahh, yep, I knew I was doing something wrong. Working now, thanks!
