Installing a new 6.14 Drupal and editing the content type Story and changing nothing but saving anyways, provides the following text:

A story, similar in form to a page, is ideal for creating and displaying content that informs or engages website visitors. Press releases, site announcements, and informal blog-like entries may all be created with a story entry. By default, a story entry is automatically featured on the site\'s initial home page, and provides the ability to post comments.

Doing this another time:

Each time I get more "\" escape characters.

Why is that?

kind regards, martin

Error has impact on all URLs, smileys etc which are entered in any text field in Drupal, therefore raising priority.

After commenting out the following line (3times, once for each php/apache combination) from the default .htaccess file the effect vanished:

php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0

-->

# php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0

Why is it this entry is there and sometimes it leads to this issue? It appears to have something to do with the provider setup?

any insights would be great!

Is this issue still occurring in the current version of Drupal v6?

This is a classic bug in some environments that uses the htscanner PECL module. If you bump into that type of issue, just change host.
