Inferno Shoutbox - Backslashes on Apostrophes? ( "\")

[Inked_Mono]

Hey, I know this was in the wrong section to begin with, but in case someone searches up the same thing, I thought I'd post the fix I was able to come up with!

Search tags: Inferno Shoutbox V3 AJAX

Fix:

In the infernoshout.php file look for the method in charge of submitting the shout:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'shout' && ($message = trim($_REQUEST['message'])) != '')
{
	$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
		'message'	=> TYPE_STR,
	));

	$message = trim($vbulletin->GPC['message']);
	
	if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0)
	{
		$infernoshout->load_engine('shout');

		$shout = new shout;
		$shout->process($message);
	}
}

Call the stripslashes() method on the message call. Stripslashes() is generally used with the PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc is toggled on (which is generally set to on by default before PHP 5.4). Your code will look something like this:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'shout' && ($message = trim($_REQUEST['message'])) != '')
{
	$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
		'message'	=> TYPE_STR,
	));

	$message = trim($vbulletin->GPC['message']);
	
	if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0)
	{
		$infernoshout->load_engine('shout');

		$shout = new shout;
		$shout->process(stripslashes($message));
	}
}

This will return your string with blackslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backwards (\\) are made into a single backslash (\).

Cheers!
