Yes, I can update config files on the fly in the admin interface. PEAR
Config loads settings from an ini file. The admin can change various
settings as required (like turn debug on/off, error text description, and a
bazillion other parameters), which are then written back to the ini file as
well as a php array file. For speed, the main system reads setting from the
php array, not the ini.

PEAR Config is awesome for this -- handles many container types (ini, php
array, php define, etc). But why addcslash failed to insert that backslash
is still the mystery.
