[SOLVED] Editing adds escape slashes (backslashes)

Post by rotezecke »

EDIT: ultimately another CMS was interfering and turned magic quotes ON. i don't quite get it but things are working now.

-----------

i'm on 1.11.2.1 and all seemed good after upgrade, both live and local. i installed two extra modules locally for play (FEU,custom content) but didn't do much, and now both are uninstalled. reason i mention the above, that's the only difference between the installs.

The local install started adding escapes in front of single and double quotes, when editing pages, global content and UDTs. (probably also templates and stylesheets).
when saving again, the escapes are escaped and now there's a lot of \\\\\' in my page. No whysiwyg editor used. PHP magic quote turned off.

the slashes break rendering so I cannot even use debug. Firefox says:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
Konquerer says
oh my god you broke this page and actually complains about unknown \
i added
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
to root .htaccess file (no luck)
and also created .htaccess file in /admin with that line (no luck)
System info shows it as off anyway.
phpinfo()
magic_quotes_gpc Off Off
magic_quotes_runtime Off Off
magic_quotes_sybase Off Off
did a checksum test:

Code: Select all

124 Files Not found
Files Not found:
/tmp/cache/SITEDOWN
/tmp/cache/index.html
/tmp/templates_c/index.html
/lib/lang/cms_selflink/ext/zh_TW.php
/lib/lang/tasks/ext/zh_TW.php
/install/lang.php
...rest is install
not sure what to look for here

local database was synchronised with remote mysqldump before upgrade to 1.11.2.1 so cmsms log does not reflect local logs. nothing in apache error logs. All Wysiwyg editors are disabled. cache cleared. any idea what else I could try?
