Strange Issues while saving after PHP update

I just updated my server software and when saving docs and templates it’s automatically putting slashes before quote marks.

Example.


PHP Version 5.3.4
Mysql 5.1.51


Is there a reason why that would happen?

Magic quotes. Why the hell do they have that as a default! Anyway, turned that off.

sounds like a magic quotes issue for sure.

magic quotes are magically ridiculous!
