Zanix, it doesn't work with or without changing the realmname back and forth.

Zanix you were right, it is because of magic_quotes_gpc being turned off. Turning only this on does the trick for me

I just wonder why it functioned without magic_quotes_gpc before

So the solution is:
1. Create a text file wiht the name htaccess.
2. Write the following line in it:

Code: Select all

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on

3. Copy the file to the /roster-directory on your server
4. Rename the file to .htaccess

If you have access to php.ini set the flag there (no need for .htaccess in this case)

Zanix, thank you very much for this.

OK I've done a bit of checking, and I've got a possible fix. Locate this block in memberdetails.php:

Code: Select all

// Slash char name and server name
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() )
{
    $name = stripslashes( $name );
    $server = stripslashes( $server_name_escape );
} 

And remove the IF structure:

Code: Select all

    $name = stripslashes( $name );
    $server = stripslashes( $server_name_escape ); 

<technobabble> There was a change in this version, the Settings.php now escapes all incoming variables if magic quotes if off. Char.php works with the stripped versions, so it strips it only if it's on. That means if magic quotes is on, the problem won't show up, but if it's off, the slashes aren't getting stripped and you get that error. </technobabble>

pleeg

// Slash char name and server name
$name = stripslashes($name);
$server = stripslashes($server_name_escape);

did the trick. Thanks

So, whats the final verdict on this? Will that fix be released as a patch?

The fix works. I've attached a fixed file.

Zanix, if you read this, can you put the fix in the autopatcher?

EDIT: Whoops, .php doesn't work. Zipped it.

Nice find PleegWat. Thanks for that!
