My web site consists of some hard-coded html but on the main, data is stored in MySQL and through the use of PHP I generate pages of html. Everything went well this year until around June/July time when I started noticing quotes (') were escaped in the generated html, so "it's" would appear as "it\'s". I use Dreamweaver 8 to develop my site. Hard-coded html is fine, it also obeys any CSS within it, PHP generated html however doesn't obey CSS or URL's. Looking at my computer server setup everything runs properly on the PC but not on my webspace, it ran OK for 18 months on both. Looking at php.ini on my PC I note magic_quotes_gpc is set to on and magic_quotes_runtime is set to off. On my webspace I note magic_quotes_gpc is set to on as is magic_quotes_runtime, I assume this is what's screwing up the PHP generated html. Is there a way to avoid this?
