What is the best way to turn off magic quotes? I have tried both these lines in my .htaccess file to no success.
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_value magic_quotes_gpc Off

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hello,

Unfortunately, changes like this can only be made at the server level (php.ini). I apologize for the inconvenience.

According to this web site: http://php.net/manua...magicquotes.php, the "This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged." I noticed we are on 5.2.17. I am not sure of the upgrade time line for PHP, but is there any chance of getting it turned off? Do you know of any one still using it?

Thanks!

Hello,

At this point - nobody should be using magic quotes and as such, it's not something that we can really enable as it poses security risks (especially with PHP 5.3.0 depreciating it).

Hi Jonathan,

This has been something we have been discussing. We will be turning magic_quotes off on web14 shortly at the server level, along with others. All popular scripts support this feature being turned off, and many require this setting to be off. Those utilizing outdated scripting will need to update their scripts/coding moving forward.

Thank you for your input on this matter.

I am not trying to be impatient because the service is great here, but the phpinfo() shows the magic quotes is still enabled.

Hi Jonathan,

I apologize - this has been resolved (as confirmed by your magento PHP info file).
