Description of the problem
The problem is that when you upload images and
insert them into Joomla 3 articles (or pages), the code \" is
added to the HTML code of the images. Actually \" is
added every time you insert a HTML code containing the character “, which
almost all HTML contains.
Reason for the problem
The reason why this happens is that the PHP
setting magic quotes is turned On. It is a setting for PHP, that was originally
developed to prevent beginners of entering bad code. So some characters (“, ‘,
\ and NULL) was replaced with a \. However this setting caused more problems
for users of PHP, than it solved problems. So it is removed from the future PHP
version 6.
So since there is no good reason to keep magic
quotes turned on, you should turn it off.
There are two way to turn off magic quotes (Mainly in share hosting) :
1. Using php.ini file
One way to solve the problem is to add the
following line to your PHP.INI file of your root folder and your
administrator folder :
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
If you don’t already have a PHP.INI file you can
create it. Unfortunately, not all hosts allow to create your own PHP.INI file
and if you try, it wont work. In this case you should solve the problems in a
.HTACCESS file.
When you create a local php.ini as
originally indicated and added it to the joomla_root/ directory
you must also add a copy to the joomla_root/administrator/ directory
too, that way both the site index.php and the
administrator index.php are
working from the same song sheet!
2. Using the .HTACCESS file
HTACCESS file is placed in your root folder. If
there is no .HTACCESS file, you can either create a new one or rename the file
HTACCESS.txt to .HTACCESS (Not .HTACCESS.txt). Then you can add the following
line:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc 0
This should work. Check if Magic quotes is turned
off, by going to PHP settings in System -> System informations -> PHP
settings in backend of your Joomla installation. At the list, Magic quotes
should now be turned off.
