Problem with magic quotes

Hi, every1

I am trying to install this nice-looking cart, but when I try to access either the store or the admin area, I get this error:

magic_quotes_gpc

I have no idea on how to change this, as I do not have access to either the php.ini file or .htaccess file from my isp.

Can anyone please help me on how to avoid this function or whatever the pro's call it ?

you must set the magic quotes gpc to off in your php.ini....
because there is a problem, when you use ' in your descriptions...

You can disable this Option, if you edit your system/startup.php by removing this:

if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) {
exit('Error: magic_quotes_gpc is enabled!');
}

but it's not recomended to do this^^

I've comment them out for adding // in front of every line till my hoster set magic_quotes_gpc to off.

you can try to set it via .htaccess. enter - php_value magic_quotes_gpc off - put the .htaccess file in your webserver's root directory
