Question Backslash Problem

I am using Kunena 1.7.1 and Joomla 1.7 on my new web site.

Whenever user use "" or '' in the text, it adds a "\" after the " or '.
I have searched a bit and have found out that this might be related with the "magic quotes" function in PHP, which I do not know what it means. I tried to turn it off as instructed in PHP support site (using .htaccess) bu no luck. Problem is still going on.

On my other sites I have been using 1.7.1 and Joomla 1.5.25 and have not encountered the problem.

Maybe someone will know what is going on.

Thanks

You have probably magic quotes enabled in PHP configuration -- they need to be disabled in Joomla 1.7+.

It is disabled and problem is still going on

What should I do next?

Changing the setting only affects to the new posts -- old ones have already been saved with backslash escaping.

This is only Joomla 1.6+ issue as it removed Magic Quotes support as deprecated feature. That feature was meant for security feature on badly written PHP, but it only made things worse...

Thanks for the reply, I was not expecting it would change the old posts. As a matter of fact, I am using Joomla 1.7, with Kunena 1.7.1 and backslash problem continues with the "magic quotes" option disabled...

Any comments?

Where does this happen? Some of the integrations (if they can be used to post) add backslashes to the posts if they aren't up to date. Kunena itself saves the information into database as it was posted, so you must have something that's interfering with inputs..

In Kunena 1.0 and 1.5 we used addslashes() to escape all data that went into the database, but I've not seen addslashes() bugs within a year or more.
