Hi,

The security analyser is suggesting i need to turn off the above, but Ive no idea how. Ive had a quick look through the forums, but its all a bit technical.

Is there a dummies for dummies guide to these types of issues?

Thanks,

Ask your hosting company to make changes to your php.ini they should be able to advise you

Or try the quickfix to add the following line to the .htaccess file in the root directory of the site:
Code
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

If there is no .htaccess file create one and add the line.

This is presuming your site is running under Apache (preferably on Linux).
