Magic Quotes problem

[balvanboy]

How to fix this?

PHP magic_quotes_gpc setting is `OFF` instead of `ON`

[dragonrider]

If you can use it in your .htaccess file, php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on, if you can't, add magic_quotes_gpc on to a php.ini file.

Can you give me more details?

Can you give me more details?

Add to .htaccess file:-

php_flag PHP magic_quotes_gpc on

If this causes your site to crash with 500 error, remove that line, resave .htaccess and site should then be back.

In that case, add to php.ini file:-

PHP magic_quotes_gpc on

Tnx so much. It works.

Where is php.ini located to Plesk Control Panel?

It isn't.

Go to your File Manager, then browse down to the folder you have your Joomla install in, Create new file, php.ini (text is fine). OK

Edit php.ini and insert the required code and save.

Command
php -i | grep -i magic_quotes
my results
magic_quotes_gpc => On => On
magic_quotes_runtime => Off => Off
magic_quotes_sybase => Off => Off

But installation shows Magic_quates_gpc is OFF

I really want to use magic quotes for Sobi2 (fetch coordinates - Google Maps)

In the Control Panel of my hosting provider I can see that Magic Quotes is on

In the Joomla backend System Info > PHP settings > Magic Quotes are Off

When I put the above code (see dragonrider) into the .htacces file > it gives Error 500
When I put it in a php.ini file that I made in the root dir. > nothing happend

I was under the impression that magic quotes is not going to be included in php6. Some sort of secureity issue I believe. Why turn it on if there is some sort of security issue? Is there not an alternative?
