The separator after s can be any character. Also, I'd recommend using single quotes around the script unless you specifically need double quotes (in which case the backslashes need to be doubled).

Code:
sed 's%\('"$name"':.:[0-9]*:\)[0-9]*:\(.*\):\(/.*/.*\):\(/.*/.*\) ...'

Notice the mix of single and double quotes above.

get_magic_quotes_gpc - Gets the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc

SYNOPSIS
bool get_magic_quotes_gpc (void ) DESCRIPTION
Returns the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc Keep in mind that attempting to set magic_quotes_gpc at runtime will not work. For more information about magic_quotes, see this security section. RETURN VALUES
Returns 0 if magic_quotes_gpc is off, 1 otherwise. Or always returns FALSE as of PHP 5.4.0. CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ | 5.4.0 | | | | | | | Always returns FALSE because the magic quotes | | | feature was removed from PHP. | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ EXAMPLES
Example #1 get_magic_quotes_gpc(3) example <?php // If magic quotes are enabled echo $_POST['lastname']; // O'reilly echo addslashes($_POST['lastname']); // O\'reilly // Usage across all PHP versions if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $lastname = stripslashes($_POST['lastname']); } else { $lastname = $_POST['lastname']; } // If using MySQL $lastname = mysql_real_escape_string($lastname); echo $lastname; // O'reilly $sql = "INSERT INTO lastnames (lastname) VALUES ('$lastname')"; ?> NOTES
Note If the directive magic_quotes_sybase is ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc. So even when get_magic_quotes_gpc(3) returns TRUE neither double quotes, backslashes or NUL's will be escaped. Only single quotes will be escaped. In this case they'll look like: '' SEE ALSO
addslashes(3), stripslashes(3), get_magic_quotes_runtime(3), ini_get(3). PHP Documentation Group GET_MAGIC_QUOTES_GPC(3)
