This script is designed to not add any slashes. Because it uses the latest technologies, slashes are no longer required. If you still see slashes, then it is due to a setting on your server that automatically add slashes.


One common setting that is the cause of this is magic_quotes. Some hosts still prefer to keep this turned ON to prevent hacking. However, this setting is not longer necessary as of PHP 5 and it has been official deprecated and removed in PHP 5.4.


To determine if the magic_quotes is ON or OFF, create a php file then paste the following code into it and run that file:


<?php

if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
  echo "Magic Quotes On";
}else{
  echo "Magic Quotes OFF";
}
?>

If Magic Quotes is ON, then you can do one of the following:


    

  • Turn it OFF, if you have a VPS
    • 

  • Contact your hosting company to turn it OFF for you
    • 



Premium URL Shortener 1.6



Please note that in that latest version 1.6, this issue has been fixed. In Core.php, you will notice a piece of code that automatically removes slashes when Magic_Quotes is ON. However, I strongly recommend you to disable it to prevent further errors.
