HTML editor problem

I'm having a problem with all the text input blocks on my site. This sounds like a big problem but I think it could just be a single or a few bad files. Maybe somefile got corrupt. I changed webhosts a few weeks ago and everything went smooth other than this problem that I have just now noticed. I've tested everything else I can think of and everything else is working so it's limited to just this problem. Here's what happens:

For example: As Admin go to messages and type in a new message. Once I'm done and hit the preview button the result is everywhere I used a ' there is an added \. I'll give an example:

Inputed text:

Code:

It's a nice day's!

Text that appears after I hit submit or preview: (bad english just for the example)

Code:

It\'s a nice day\'s

This problem is site wide and happens everywhere I can input text! I tried to change the Admin block by adding extra links and the same type of thing is happening! Here's another example:
When I edit the HTML code of my Admin Block I enter this simple code:

Code:

<strong>&middot;</strong> <a href="admin.php" target="_self">Administration</a><br />


<strong>&middot;</strong> <a target="_self" href="admin.php?op=logout">Logout</a>

I hit the update button and then I hit the "save block" button. I then go back into the block and view the HTML again and it was changed to this non-working code:

Code:

<strong>&middot;</strong> <a target="\_self\" href="%5Cadmin.php%5C">Administration</a><br />


<strong>&middot;</strong> <a href="%5Cadmin.php?op=logout%5C" target="\_self\">Logout</a>

See the extra that is being placed in the code? If I simply hit the "save block" button again without changing any code it adds more to the code again now resulting in:

Code:

<strong>&middot;</strong> <a href="%5C%5Cadmin.php%5C%5C" target="\\\_self\\\">Administration</a><br />


<strong>&middot;</strong> <a target="\\\_self\\\" href="%5C%5Cadmin.php?op=logout%5C%5C">Logout</a>

What part of Nuke controls the text input or the HTML input? I have no problem re-uploading files but can someone just point me in the right direction to start?

Those are problems with addslashes and stripslashes not being used appropriately in 7.8. There are many other issues with this version, and I recommend moving to patched 7.6 distribution, like RavenNuke.

Try disabling magic_quotes_gpc

If it requires magic_quotes off, shouldn't that be specified in installation instructions? I haven't checked - maybe it is.

How should I disable them? Sounds like something in the config file but I don't have anything there for magic quotes! Question

I have this same install running on a home webserver and it works fine! This is just a problem after the upload was completed to a faster webhost! Thats why I think it's a corrupted file!

I believe chatserv assumes it is off .. ?
magic_quotes_gpc is a PHP setting that you may be able to change through .htaccess
Otherwise your webhost may need to edit php.ini

That was it!! I know I didn't do that when I 1st uploaded to the new webserver and I'm sure it worked for a short while but whatever.. Thanks it works now! I just had to add the following to my .htaccess file in root.

Code:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
