Magic Quotes GPC Off

[id0c]

How do I turn this on so I can continue with the install? Everything else is good. Thanks.

Why do you want to turn it on?
If you read/searched the other posts here on 3.0 forum you would see it needs to be off.

Sorry, I wanted to turn it off, but I was able to figure it out. Thanks.

Thank you for your method but, as has been stated many times elsewhere in respect of making changes to PHP settings, it is entirely server/host dependent as to what you are permitted to change and how you make these changes.

I just spent hours fighting my godaddy server with this issue.

I just added these lines in my php5.ini ::


magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

display_errors = Off
error_reporting = Off

The first part concerns the magic quotes and the second part the display error.

Also I created a phpinfo.php5 file to verify the setting:

just use notepad, copy this into it and save as phpinfo.ph

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

So solving the magic quote was not sufficient, I also had to address the display error to finaly have it working.

Have fun.
