Magic Quotes question

HI

My host upgraded to a new server and every time I save the page I get the \ added before and " symbols, my only fix right now is to go into the database table and remove the \ there not exactly the ideal.

I spoke to the host who checked the server setting and got back to tell me that magic quotes is turned off.

I am using MODx evo 1.0.3 does anyone know if there is anything else that can cause this or is the host telling me wrong, due to there security settings I cant see info on magic quotes using php info.

Thanks all

Ian

That sure sounds like magic_quotes_gpc is on.

Something here might help: http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.disabling.php.

PLEASE, PLEASE specify the version of MODX you are using . . . PLEASE!

Yep I am pretty sure thats the issue it cant be anything else so I guess its time to look for a new host, I did try and disable them in the .htaccess file but that caused the internal server error message which I guess is because of some other security issue that's turned on so I am pretty much out of options.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts and the link.

Many thanks

Ian

You can try this in your /manager/ folder

A haa,

Thanks for that function this: echo get_magic_quotes_gpc(); echoed out 1.

So now I have proof they are turned on many thanks for that

Cheers

Since I don't have a life, I spend a lot of time just browsing through the PHP documentation. Lots of neat stuff hardly anybody knows about.
