I needed to send an email through an authenticated SMTP server. I found the snippet on the PHP website to do the trick.

Convert an irregular name=value pair string into a formatted array.

Generate a random number or string in PHP.

Sometimes you need to remove slashes from POST variables which could contain arrays. The standard slipslashes-function only takes a string as parameter.

This function removes slashes from both a simple string and array variable.

Gets the rightmost substring, of the specified length, from a String object.

Gets a regular expression that'll search for any regexp pattern specified in the parameters.

I'm trying to load an object into a session variable.

The recursive function stripslashesDeep($value) will (upon called) strip slashes (\) from strings and arrays (even arrays with arrays within themself). The controlstatement (if) checks if magic quotes gpc is on, if it is we strip the slashes it have added.

Very good snippet if you want to have the "same" input even if you switch to an enviroment where magic quotes gpc is set to something else than on your originall server.
