php escaping double quotes is not working?

Question

So i have an odd problem, maybe its just a config issue.. I installed an xampp lite server onto my flash drive and downloaded everything from my site on the net to the drive.. The problem is all of the \" (php escape for double quotes) in the code are not working on the local site, but are working online? is there a certain configuration change i need to make?

Answer 1

If the escaping is hard-coded, then no, no configuration should be needed.



So, following line should work in any case:



echo "this \" is working";



However, if the escaping is part of IO, then you'll need to check the magic_quotes_gpc setting in php.ini



You can also check using this PHP function: get_magic_quotes_gpc(), if it returns 1 then the setting is on, otherwise off. Check with this function both in server and local site and set the same setting for local site.



Remember: most possible magic_quotes_gpc is on in your server for security reasons.

Answer 2

I'm not aware of any such problem.



Check your local PHP installation, try reinstalling it. It might do the trick :)

Answer 3

No. should produce



these " are double quotes
