It appears that certain reserved punctuation codes are having their escape slash displayed.

Like these:

"
'
\

(I typed just the quote, single-quote, and backslash characters)

And it seems to tack on an extra backslash every time the post is previewed and when it is saved, apparently.

I'm curious--did you change any of the code or are there differences in PHP versions that can cause this kind of behavior?

I always see those backslashes, also, where you guys see comics, I see vertically scrolling green binary code.

I once plugged my modem into the port in the back of my head to read all of Kaufman's comics instantaniously and lost the power in both my legs.

Yeah I know, I watched "Swordfish" and ended up buying 7 extra monitors so that I could REALLY multi-task. Plus, I started sitting up to rediculous hours in the morning creating hacker programs as 3-dimensional virtual reality cubes.

At least Hale Berry showed me her tits though.

(note: if you haven't seen Swordfish, this probably won't mean anything to you)

I like the way the utility Hugh Jackman uses to hack into things is called \\\"Worm Program Generator v4.2" or something like that.

-Brad has a sale: prices slashed again and again!

-Feeling lucky, punc.?

-"Girls in white dresses with blue satin slashes..."

-Seems someone broke into stripcreator and did this maliciously. This is a case of "hack and slash".

Um, how is it that TheElPaso escapes without getting this weird backlash infection? Is it his terrible puns? Is Kaufman the cure?

Tune in next week for the dramatic conclusion.

No, logging in and out is not working. I seem to randomly be logged in or not and can't log in using the "log in" page.

Feature Creep

Member Rated:

No code changes, it's differences in the way PHP is configured on different boxes. If you move your site around a lot (which I seem to), you'll run into this annoying phenomenon. Your site works great on one server and then the other one has the "magic_quotes" feature turned on and that breaks all your quote-fixing code, because then all the punctuation and quotes and stuff are getting "fixed" twice.

Then if you have access to the php.ini you can modify it and configure it to your liking. If you don't, you're boned and you have to go change your way of doing everything every time you switch servers.

Nobody ever has their PHP configured exactly the same as anyone else.

There you go, Brad - creation of new accounts is working just fine. Unforunately, you can't log in to use this new account. Because I foolishly deleted all my cookies in an attempt to fix my forum troubles, I now have to retype my username and password every time I post. This is irritating.

I was just on dictionary.com and saw the same apostrophe-backslash problem. That is, if I typed in a phrase with an apostrophe and pushed OK, it would then reload the screen with a backslash next to the apostrophe.

Maybe it's a bug or virus a lot of sites are being affected by.
