If you’re on shared hosting and you receive magic quotes errors, this is what you need to do.

Put the following code into a php file surrounded by php open & close tags, FTP up to the site and run:

exec("cp " . php_ini_loaded_file() . " " . $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . "/php.ini");
fwrite(fopen("{$_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’]}/php.ini", ‘a’), PHP_EOL . ‘[PHP]’ . PHP_EOL . "magic_quotes_gpc = Off" . PHP_EOL);
fwrite(fopen("{$_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’]}/.htaccess", ‘a’), PHP_EOL . "SetEnv PHPRC {$_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’]}/php.ini" . PHP_EOL);

You should now see php.ini in your public html file with a modified htaccess file  with the following line:

SetEnv PHPRC /var/sites/w/www.time-tracker-cresc.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/public_html/php.ini
