So I was trying to install Dolphin 7 beta 2 and I got the "get_magic_quotes_gpc is Off, enable it " message. I am trying to install this on the same server as my live Dolphin 6.1.6 site. Did something change in this version of the requirements? I am not Mr. PHP or anything so I was trying to figure out what Magic Quotes is and I cam across this link stating that Magic Quotes is depreciated and will not be supported in PHP 6. Is that something to worry about?

I noticed that thread but my issue is a little different, so I posted here. Happiness is a warm gun. |
What version of PHP are you running? If you are not running php v 5.3 then you don't need to worry about it being depricated or discontinued. Check with your hosting provider regarding this issue. Shared Dolphin Hosting w/RMS |
Its PHP 5.1.6 and it my own Virtual Dedicated Server so I am the hosting provider. My main question is, Was Magic Quotes required before Dolphin 7? If it was, how can I have Dolphin 6.1.6 on the same server if its disabled? Happiness is a warm gun. |
Is this whaat the corresponding entry in your php.ini file looks like? ; Magic quotes Shared Dolphin Hosting w/RMS |
OK, so if your php.ini file isn't making the magic_quotes ON....this is what you should do...(I DID NOT have to re-start Apache). - The normal method is to use a .htaccess file to change the PHP settings via the php_flag directive: php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on Just create the file .htaccess with the above contents in the directory where you are going to install the application (or in the root of the domain if you want it to take affect over the whole domain). To switch if off, either change on to off or remove the line or file. - Then I could start the install as normal....that only took me an hour to sort this through. lol - I am using PHP 5.2.6. And I do not believe that Magic Quotes were required before D7. I also am hosting provider and have Dolphin V6.1.4 running in the same environment. I just edited the .htaccess in the root folder of V7. - Hope this helps. - ~~L - Its PHP 5.1.6 and it my own Virtual Dedicated Server so I am the hosting provider.

Here is what php.ini for the server looks like (in regards to magic quotes): magic_quotes_gpc = off magic_quotes_runtime = off magic_quotes_sybase = off But the good news is adding php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on to my .htaccess for my dolphin folder seems to have worked. Thanks everyone. Happiness is a warm gun. |
