Character substitution bug!

PHP Version is 5.4 FastCGI

Just figured out how to include ‘Website’ text area in the Contact Form!

I edited all the required fields and finally registered the variable under ‘$qvars’ section. Without the registration under ‘$qvars’ section, custom form fields won’t work I think.

Here’s my custom simplesecure.php file.

Thank you very much Jason, for making this super awesome plugin. ??

It looks suspiciously like magic quotes may be on in php.ini ? That’s what happens is that everything gets a backslash in front of it. Not 100% sure but I think that may be the problem.

Thanks for adding the stuff to SimpleSecure – I’ll try to get that in the next version!

Oh! :O My webhost is DreamHost on a Shared Hosting plan. They use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as OS and Apache as the webserver for all shared servers.

What should I ask to DreamHost to solve this problem? Could you suggest some ideas please? ?? Sadly, I’m not a programmer! ??

I’m looking to include a GPG powered contact form in my homepage which is based on HTML5 and CSS3. I researched and found out some ways to do that using OpenPGP.js libraries etc. But when I try to implement that in my homepage, it fails! ??

Could your script be used to implement GPG powered contact forms on HTML pages? I think if we remove the WordPress requirements from the script, it could be used for embedding GPG powered contact forms on HTML pages right? There are very less working GPG implementations for contact forms for using in HTML pages.

By the way, did you get my email Jason? ??

I would talk to dreamhost about how to disble it – they probably have a way to do that in .htaccess or maybe a control panel.

I did get the email – thanks!

Thank you Jason! That would be fine. ??

Magic Quotes isn’t on for anyone (unless you turned it on…)

This usually happens with your wp-config.php setting the DB_CHARSET to utf8 when your DB isn’t. You can change that value to define( 'DB_CHARSET', '' ); as a test.

Ipstenu-DH, I changed define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); to define('DB_CHARSET', ''); as you said. But the problem is still there! ??

Any updates?

I don’t know actually, i don’t see that happening on any of my test servers. Sorry I don’t know why you are getting escaped quotes.

??

Anyways, you tried your best to help me. That’s very much appreciated. Thank you bro. ?? ^_^

And thank you to Mika Epstein sis too. ?? ^_^
