wirthling May 18, 2002 12:31 PM	I'm curious--did you change any of the code or are there differences in PHP versions that can cause this kind of behavior?

KajunFirefly May 18, 2002 12:58 PM	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)

TheElPaso May 18, 2002 1:51 PM	-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".

KajunFirefly May 18, 2002 2:07 PM	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. "Bazilla's a wanker"

Bazilla May 19, 2002 10:52 PM	I'm alright. Phew good thing I am, or I would've looked like an idiot if it slashed.

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.

TesteTeste May 20, 2002 2:35 AM	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.

ObiJo June 5, 2002 11:34 PM	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.

DexX June 6, 2002 12:18 AM	According to Brad, it is a bug in the newest version of PHP. he went back to a slightly older release, and all was fine.

ObiJo June 6, 2002 12:40 AM	I appreciate the explanation. The flirting's getting a little embarassing though.

boorite August 1, 2002 8:20 AM	If I recall correctly, PHP calls these "magic" slashes. I hate magic.

Brad August 1, 2002 10:27 AM	This all started when we tried to upgrade Apache yesterday. It'll be fixed soon.

Brad August 1, 2002 11:07 AM	Slashing problem is fixed, and I've fixed a bunch of the slashes that got saved to the comics database, but I have to leave. I'll fix the rest tomorrow. If there are any other problems, please e-mail me.

Post #59649	link

Brad August 2, 2002 11:03 AM	If it could get here within 30 days, I'd be able to return this $150 one I just bought, which would be nice because I could use that $150 for many other things. But if it's after 30 days, I'm stuck with this modem, so it wouldn't be worth bothering. Lightning is retarded. I'm going to go fix slashes.
