Gallery 1.5, WordPress 2, stripslashes_deep conflict (solution included)

I've recently upgraded from WordPress 1.5 to WordPress 2, and have found that the block-random include no longer works. This can be attributed to both Gallery and WordPress defining a function stripslashes_deep(), and thus PHP detects a conflict due to the fact I was including the block-random.php script in the sidebar.php file for the theme I use.

I've worked out that if I change to an iframe, I can embed the block-random script's output, but I lose all the formatting applied by the theme. I have also worked out that using PHP 5 gives me the handy file_get_contents(), and I have fopen wrappers enabled. Doing:

<?php
$r = file_get_contents('http://localhost/gallery/block-random-enhanced.php');
?>
 <li id="photo"><?php _e('Photo:'); ?>
        <ul>
                <li><?php echo $r; ?></li>
        </ul>
 </li>

Pulls in the data from the local server (which is fine for my usage, it's an internalish transfer) and spits it to the browser

oh nvm u gave a solution for a problem hehe
