PHP-Nuke 7.6.0.3.2b Adding Slashes To Content

New Member Joined: Mar 07, 2005 Posts: 10

Hi all,

I am having a problem with7.6.0.3.2b It seems that whenever I post something in content that contains HTML it adds slashes. When you initially submit an article to the content module it's fine. However if you go back and edit it all of a sudden there will be 3 slashes like below.

Code:

<img src="\\\ddwd/tarponflats.jpg\\\" width="\\\300\\\" height="\\\400\\\" align="\\\right\\\">

If you try and edit it a second time there will be 6.

I am sure this has been asked and answered before so I apologize if it's a duplicate post but after 3 days of looking and trying to fix it. I am at my wits end.

Please help before I lose what little of my mind I have remaining.

Thank you in advance

Disable magic_quotes_gpc - either you can do it through .htaccess or your host has to do it through php.ini (Some hosts may not change this setting)

Thank you evaders, problem is this, my so called host refuses to do this and I have no idea how to to it using .htaccess

I tried searching it out on the web, got me nowhere.

Nevermind evaders. I figured it out. I downloaded 7.6.0.3.3 patch. I didn't realize there even was a new patch. Uploaded the content mod and viola it's working fine.

Thank you for helping though.

I would still be interested in learning about turning off the magic_quotes if you don't mind.

The new patched does some extra stripslashes to fix this problem. It really isn't the best approach.

You may consider turning off magic_quotes_gpc using .htaccess

Place this line in your .htaccess file

Code:




PHP_FLAG magic_quotes_gpc Off

Started my own similar, but maybe slightly different thread.
