Hello

Today I have upgraded from PHP 5.2.8 to 5.3.2 with

./configure (a long configuration statement)
make
make install

After this upgrade I have come across two problems, one was about the date.timezone which I've easily corrected the second one is when someone posts
something to the board, the quotes become \' that is, ' becomes \'

Could that be because I've omitted some extensions during the PHP upgrade such as the so-called "iconv" and "curl" among others. Or is it because of something else?

Thanks.
Disable magic quotes in your PHP config.
In php.ini I have edited the related line and now it's ok.
Thanks!
I think there should be a sticky regarding the Magic Quotes addon for PHP.
