PHP-CGI: drupal adds slashes to special characters
mmickey - June 26, 2009 - 15:52
Hi,
I have a running drupal site which I built in a sandbox on my linux system. Everything worked well there, then I uploaded to all-inkl.com and made it work there. One thing is left and I don't know the reason.
When I post another article/blog/page on the site on the web, drupal replaces special caracters like ',",\ with \', \",\\ everytime I save it. It does that even iteratively, so ' becomes \', becomes \\\' and so on... It didn't do that on the sandbox system, and I have no clue why. I tried it with and without FCKeditor, no difference...
Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply.
Do I need them to be enalbed or disabled?
I experimented with them on my local installation with
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on/off
php_value ... on/off
burt I couldn't reproduce the behaviour with the slashes on my local installation...

You want them off. Any host
You want them off. Any host who enables them by default should be shot.
A trick: use
phpinfo()to find out all kinds of interesting stuff about your installation.Hi, thanks again for your
Hi,
thanks again for your help. I had a look at phpinfo and it tells me, that magic quotes are off (at least locally, but that should be enough if I get it right), but the problem persists, ' is replaced with \' and so on...
any further ideas?

ok, I have retried on my local installation, both with magic quotes on and off (validated now with phpinfo that it is really on or off), and I cannot reproduce on my local installation... the problem persists with the copy on the server of my webhoster, where magic quotes is off.
so I guess there should be another reason, but what???

php-cgi problem
so after some further testing, it seems the problem is php-cgi related.
I need to enable php-cgi on my server because otherwise proc_open is disabled, and when enabling php-cgi the replacement of the slashes starts...
magic quotes are off also for the php-cgi version.
Any ideas what could cause the problem with php-cgi?
