In any textfield, backslashes (for example in a Path to a local file) are removed when saving.
It seems to happen in alle types of Textfields and in comments.

open file includes/functions/database.php and remove next code
Code: Select all
if (function_exists('mysqli_real_escape_string')) {
return mysqli_real_escape_string($$link,stripslashes($string));
} elseif (function_exists('mysqli_escape_string')) {
return mysqli_escape_string($$link,stripslashes($string));
}
let me know if it helps
and note this will work for Windows Server with XAMPP only

The solution works.
Nevertheless: my programmer thinks, that it has less to do with XAMPP but with "magic_quotes" and the extensive usage of "addslahes" and "stripslashes", which - to his opinion - do not always do what they are supposed to.
He also notes, that "escaping" is not beeing used generally.
This could lead to SQL-injections.
Note: I am just forwarding, what my programmer told me and do not really understand it. If you have more questions, I will probably ask him, to contact you directly.

thank you, everything is clear for me:)
since XAMPP is just for local server (for personal use only) so there is no reason to worry about SQL-injections etc.
