[MyBB] Strange error [Apostrophe shows up with slash]
Hi, when someone posts a word with a ' in it it shows a slash to.

EG: haven't shows haven\'t when it's posted

Anyone know why?

PS: It seems when a slash is posted it adds more slashes after that aswell

If it helps, recently I restored my old database thorugh PHPMyAdmin onto my new server, but I don't think I disabled the plugins before the backup and now they aren't on the new server I can't disable them because they aren't there

My guess is that MyBB is attempting to do the job of commenting out characters that are special to mysql and your server also has magic_quotes_gpc enabled. Is there possibly a configuration setting in MyBB that allows you to set whether magic_quotes_gpc is enabled on the server or not? Sorry. I don't know MyBB well enough to know if this is definitely the correct fix. But that would be my guess. Basically php would automatically escape an ' and make it like this \' and then MyBB may be adding it's own so it would look like this \\' when it is processed saved to the database it would lose one of the \ and just be \'.

Thanks for the reply

Magic quotes is enabled on the served, I ran a test PHP file with stripslashes in and it worked fine.

I believe it's because I forgot to disable my plugins before backing up in PHPMyAdmin on my previous server, I guess some of the files that were using the plugins have some errors or something.

Could I just replace some of the forum files with fresh MyBB files?

PHP Code:
// Determine Magic Quotes Status
        if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
        {
            $this->magicquotes = 1;
            $this->strip_slashes_array($_POST);
            $this->strip_slashes_array($_GET);
            $this->strip_slashes_array($_COOKIE);
        }
        set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
        @ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc", 0);
        @ini_set("magic_quotes_runtime", 0); 
Code straight from class_core.php.

Question, does your host have ini_set function on?

Yeh in a new php file put in the following code and run it from your server

PHP Code:
<?php

var_dump(ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc"));

?>

Sorry for posting again but I just installed another MyBB on the same server, brand new database and everything to test stuff and it happens on there aswell so it's a server issue.

Embarassing that I didn't think of trying that before

When you installed that forum did you do the modification that Tikitiki suggested?
