[Solved] Page editing escapes characters (0.9.5)

May 20, 2009 04:28 norfa 3 posts	Hi, When I’m editing pages in my 0.9.5 installation, with filter set to —none—, Frog CMS escapes characters in my php code, making the script useless. For instance: When I write `<?php echo 'Hello'; ?>`, Frog CMS turns it into `<?php echo \'Hello\'; ?>` I can’t find any info on this on the forum and I find it quite strange that nobody else is experiencing the same problem. Please advice Anders

Client: OS: Windows XP SP3 Browser: FireFox 3, Chrome and IE7 Server: OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab060.8 #1 SMP Mon Feb 9 20:25:36 MSK 2009 i686 Webserver: Apache 2.2.9 PHP: Version 5.2.6 magic_quotes_gpc: Local Off, Master On (reported by phpinfo() ) I’ve also tried to set “php_value magic_quotes_gpc off” in my .htaccess Also, get_magic_quotes_gpc() return 0. I do not control the httpd.conf file of the web-server, so I’m not able to change anything there. Are there any other .htaccess/php_value settings I might try to set to affect the problem? Anders

I’ve created test.php: `Click <a href="test.php?test=a'b">this link</a><br/> <?php echo "get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns " . get_magic_quotes_gpc() . "<br/>"; print '$_GET["test"] is: ' . $_GET['test'] . "<br/>";` `phpinfo();` `?>` and .htaccess: `php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off` phpinfo() reports magic_quotes_gpc to be off, get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns 0, but@ $_GET[‘test’]@ still is set to `a\'b...`

Found the hint here Applied this workaround in index.php I’m not happy with the solution, but it seems to work. Have to contact my web host to get this fixed I guess. The odd thing, though, is that phpinfo() reports magic_quotes_gpc as off even though it’s actually enabled.
