Messeges with " or ' are displayed " or '

Hi,

Sorry- screwed up the title for this topic :~

When sending a message such as- Here's a "Test" for messages
The message is displayed as this- Here's a "Test" for messages

I've contacted my Host on this

My Host advised that this is an issue with Boonex ????

Does anyone know where to go to fix this?

Thanks

 what's the difference

WTH? LOL X~)

I guess I need to put down the crack-pipe or something...

Let's try this again...

When sending a message such as- Here's a "Test" for messages

When the other person receives the message, it looks like this- Here's a "Test" for messages

It inserts back-slashes in front of the quotation mark or apostrophe

I'm positive I typed this message correctly this time X~)

 OK- This forum is removing the back-slashes.....Which is opposite of what my site is doing...

So I did do the topic the way I intended but the were removed

Go into admin in the host tools section. What is the state of the php option for magic_quotes_gpc?

 It is set to ON That was my first thought....WAIT- It was set to on in CPANEL....

Lemme check where you just told me

 magic_quotes_gpc = On - WARNING (should be = Off)

I thought forums said it was supposed to be ON ????

What is correct?

It is suppose to be off.

It's still a bug in dolphin as dolphin is suppose to catch that problem and adjust for it, but not all areas of dolphin work properly with different magic quotes settings.

So make sure it's off.

It was changed a couple of versions back. Older dolphin versions required it. Newer ones don't. It was changed to comply with PHP changes. That setting is being removed in future php versions.

 Much thanks guys :)

Should I do this in the .htaccess file?

And BTW- Is it possible for this Magic Quotes to cause a query error when a module goes to access the database?

 php.ini. If the option is able to be changed in cpanel then try that.

 
Maybe. It would make sense if the setting was off and the module was not doing it's own escaping, but with it on, not likely,

 Well....The issue I'm having with the module is something related to not_in_set function...MySQL not recognizing the function???  MySQL errors with- FUNCTION (MYDATABASENAME).FIND_IN_SET does not exist...

I thought it might relate since there are so many quotes and stuff in MySQL language separating things or something, and perhaps it was getting those backslashes fed to it when the module goes to access the database???

I don't know- just throwing something out there and seeing if it sticks??

Not likely to be the same issue. a set is a predefined list. Contact the modules vendor or if it's a dolphin module start a new topic. I don't believe the problem is related as find_in_set is a database function. Magic quotes is used between the script and the database. This is a function built in mysql so the magic quotes option does not apply.

I'll be--- Had the Hosts Turm Magic Quotes off and STILL- Those backslashes are getting inserted.

I was positive that was going to work - Seems I've had to do this practically every time we do a fresh install...

But, it didn't seem to work this time.
