    Will the Modx sites only run on PHP version 5.2.10 or 5.2.13? I am unsure which version my webhost runs. Should I notify them to change to 5.2.10 to help it run smoother. I have not had the backslash problem but I would like to know which PHP versions are compatible or not. Thank you.

      You can use php 5.3.x if you have Evolution 1.0.5, granted some addons not included by default may not work properly. Revolution on the other hand should work better with php 5.3.x.

      The latest versions of php 5.2.x should be fine for either version of MODX. The latest version are 5.2.17 and 5.3.5. Your hosting company may be one version behind, if more than 3 versions behind you may want to prompt them to update.

      The settings used (default php.ini) are up to the hosting company, but in most cases you can change them for your site(s) using htaccess, or a custom php.ini file.

        Ah, of course! My apologies; you definitely need to restart the Apache server after changing the php.ini file!
        Thank you very much. I was having problems with our server & it was as simple as that. Can’t believe that I missed it.

          EVO 1.0.0
          WAMPSERVER 2.0 (XAMPP as well)
          Apache 2.2.1
          PHP 5.3.0
          MYSQL 5.1.36
          WIN XP Pro

          I had setup a local site and was working on converting a template. I had left for a few days and came back to work some more today. After making changes I chose SAVE+ContinueEditing. Checked my site and all styling was gone (no css) I took a real quick glance at the template. Chose SAVE+Close and refreshed site, still no CSS. I looked at the template again and noticed that there were extra back slashes EVERYWHERE. I cleaned up the template and tried again - no change. Still no CSS. Looked at template and a single backslash had been inserted anywhere there was a single or double quote mark. I did a SAVE+ContinueEditing and looked again. The single slash multiplied to 3. Repeated and slash multiplied to 7, then 15, then 31, etc...

          Anyone have any idea what I may have done, what’s going on? I tested klonopin side effects with fresh installs using both WAMPSERVER and XAMPP. With default template and others.

          Any help insight greatly appreciated.

          EDIT - behavior same with SAVE+Close and SAVE+AddAnother

                Again, if you read the previous posts, it's a problem with the magic_quotes_gpc setting in your server's php.ini settings. If you don't understand how to fix this yourself, contact your hosting's tech support. They need to help you turn the magic_quotes_gpc setting to Off.
