Problems with Apache
I belive this to be either a problem with apache or php or possibly bolth.
What I am wondering is does anyone know what would cause this to happen. Maybe someone here had the same problem.
I am running a few php scripts for downloads and things like that. Anytime i put anything with a ' [ example : Who's Online would look like this :: Who/'s Online ]
I know a little about php but not that much, but i do know if you are going to inlude text to be displayed on the site and it has a ' you have to put a / before it so it would be xx/'s
I am using nuke and pafiledb and if i name a title or category or whatever with a ' it puts the slash there.
Also you know how nuke has the footer with the url to its website. If you highlight it it says
www.myserver.com/\/phpnuke.org/\/ or something like that,.
Sometimes if i refesh a few times all this goes away and then the links are back to normal
anyone know what this could be?

I don't think it's got anything to do with Apache.
I think it's the PHP magic quotes option that has been turned on by accident. It can easily be turned off in either php.ini or (on a per vhost, directory etc basis) in Apache's config (read the docs)
PHP's magic quotes is a hugely misguided attempt to make bad programs more secure - its results are devatstating, because despite its best efforts to correctly escape strings, it usually gets it wrong and you end up with backslashes everywhere.
I wonder whether AO uses it, because I have seen erroneous backslashes here too.
