AmR Users CSV Export gets slashes even when magic_quotes_gpc OFF

Wow! Sounds wonderful. You are amazing.

I still have the slashes trouble, even though magic quotes are known to be off ( — checked using phpinfo() — ), and when I do a test where I build a “ram file” and download it, there are no slashes added, yet slashes are added on the CSV download from the plugin.

EDIT: I just tested some more, and a real “disk file” downloaded via the s2member plugin does not have any slashes added to it.

I found some code (below) that may help, but I don’t know where to put it, as it has been a long time since I was involved in this issue, and I’ve slept since then. ??

Here is the code that /may/ help:

// Is magic quotes on? if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { // Yes? Strip the added slashes $_REQUEST = array_map('stripslashes', $_REQUEST); $_GET = array_map('stripslashes', $_GET); $_POST = array_map('stripslashes', $_POST); $_COOKIE = array_map('stripslashes', $_COOKIE); }

To recap:

Using phpinfo() I know that all three types of magic quotes are off.

A test using a “ram file” CSV does not get slashes added. For example:

<?
		header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
		header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"downloadablefile.csv\"");
		echo '"ID","Username","Title", [and so on]

A test using a real “disk file” CSV (via s2member plugin) does not get slashes added.

However, somehow slashes are added on the CSV download from the AmR Users plugin.

I just did a “view page source” on the AmR Users CSV button.

Instead of " … it has &quote; as its text identifier. I am testing on FireFox (latest version) on a Mac (OS X Lion, latest update).

Whenever I then try to do a “ram file” test based on a copy and paste of the &quote; version that is hiding behind the CSV button, I get nothing easily usable because the &quote; instances don’t get converted to " …

Hi Doug,
thanks for the effort looking in to it.
when I get back to it, I’ll see whether there is a way of overwriting the link… may not be:

You are too kind. Thank you. May be no way around it. Still hoping. ??
