Why is the Self Hosted Control Panel adding a "" after an apostrophe. Example: I wrote father's (Advanced Menu List Row Title) Control Panel displays it as: father's Discovered the solution at the below thread but my question is why is it adding this character? http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=348284F2E48CE74CDC0F4A5&fid=06DB0BCB08E2222&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=2

Gremlins. Every time. It's the gremlins. :)

I believe its bases on HTML "escaping" characters. Its common to disable certain characters in PHP as a security measure. Since certain characters are seen frequently in HTML and PHP code, something had to be done so that HTML and PHP could differentiate between what is the code it should process, and code written to be displayed. This forum, right now is a great example of this. It allows me to type PHP code in my forum posts, and it is not processed as PHP, just text. Besides escaping there are these other commands called addslashes: __________ string addslashes ( string $str ) <?php $str = "Is your name O'reilly?"; // Outputs: Is your name O\'reilly? echo addslashes($str); ?> __________ And stripslashes: <?php $str = "Is your name O\'reilly?"; // Outputs: Is your name O'reilly? echo stripslashes($str); ?> ______________ The PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc was on by default before PHP 5.4, and it essentially ran addslashes() on all GET, POST, and COOKIE data. Do not use addslashes() on strings that have already been escaped with magic_quotes_gpc as you'll then do double escaping. The function get_magic_quotes_gpc() may come in handy for checking this.
