Joomla installation magic quotes issue

Question

The latest Joomla 3.0 will need magic quotes to turn off in order to start the installation.

As usual, i turn it off using php.ini created inside the sub folder where my joomla files are inside.

in my phpinfo, magic_quotes_gpc is writing Off. but in my joomla installation page, magic quotes still showing "No".

any ideas?

Answer 1

Usually editing the php.ini requires the restart of the server to work.

Have a look at the PHP function get_magic_quotes_gpc. There may be no issue with Joomla after all.

Answer 2

No way of solving it with a php.ini file. It'll "seem to work" but doesn't. You need to set magic_quotes_gpc = off on the server php configuration.
