View Full Version : SERIOUS ERROR: Parse error after changing the background color...

Wherever I try to change templates to match our layout or even the background at Options/Change styles/Body tag/ the system generates backslashes which result in "Parse error: parse error in global.php on line 0" on every page....

This is what I mean:

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" id=all>
and after change:
<body bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" text=\"#000000\" id=all>
even worse if I want to change it again:
<body bgcolor=\\\"#ffffff\\\" text=\\\"#000000\\\" id=all>

So it seems that where ever a " is used, the system generates \ (backslashes).

What can we do to fix this problem, since it makes our board completely useless now.

What version are you running?

Also, check that line 543 of options.php looks like this:



while (list($key,$val)=each($newoption)) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()==1) {
$val=stripslashes($val);
}
$val=str_replace("\$","\\\$",$val);
$val=str_replace("\"","\\\"",$val);
$opttemp.="\$$key = \"$val\";\n";
}

that was the same problem I was having (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=309 ), but the code above checks out - and it is only the body tag and the footer. All the rest are correct.

(* sigh *)

I fixed it by using phpmyadmin available from http://www.phpwizard.net/ which is a program that allows you to maintain mysql databases through a webbased interface.

'someone', email me (wandrer@glcomputers.com) so we might be able to find a solution to this.

Version 1.1.1

And since we didn't change any source code it looks exactly the same like you showed....
