TOPIC: quotes get a \ added prior to them after submit

quotes get a \ added prior to them after submit 5 years 3 months ago #1887

webharvest OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 37	I noticed all the quotes (\") that are submitted in my form text gets a \ character put in front of it. Is this a bug or is it unique to me?

webharvest OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 37	Alex, Is this truly a bug. It appears that this happens in many areas even in the support area of the backend of the component. All the quotes there get a backslash added to them also.

This is due to the single quotes and double quotes being escaped when writing to the database, but not unescaped when retrieving from the webpage.

SOLUTION: Until this is fixed, instead of using the single quote/apostrophe (') or double quote (\"), use the html entity:

for double quote use (without the spaces):

&amp; q u o t ;

&amp; # 3 4 ;

for single quote/apostrophe use (without the spaces):

&amp; r s q u o ;

&amp; # 8 2 1 7 ;

See this page for more info on html entities: msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537499(VS.85).aspx

I do not know why this hasn't been fixed yet. But here is how to fix it for those who are tired of this bug.

open RScomments.php located in: /components/com_rscomments/helpers/

Subject is on line #227, the Comments are on line #234 (although I wasn't having the problem with the comments, just the subject. You need to strip the slashes. Example for subject:

$subject = ($config->enable_title_field == 1) ? '<span id="rscsubject'.$comment->IdComment.'">'.$comment->subject.'</span>' : '';

Add a line after this to read like this:

$subject = ($config->enable_title_field == 1) ? '<span id="rscsubject'.$comment->IdComment.'">'.$comment->subject.'</span>' : '';
			$subject = stripslashes($subject);
