Fixing silverstripe warnings during install

Silverstripe magic_quotes asp_tags warnings screenshot

Question:

I get warnings about asp_tags and magic_quotes during my install of silverstripe.

Answer:

You need to edit your php.ini and set the asp_tags and magic_quotes options to off.

However be aware that there is the potential to break your other scripts if your scripts depend on those options. You should change them and then test your other scripts. If anything breaks, you’ll need to leave them set to on or set up a separate php configuration for each part of your site.

Best regards,
