[FX.php List] Switch of web host - HTML special chars stripped from FX output (FMU6)

[Ben Bradley]

Hi
I'm using the same version of FX.php as I was on the old hosting provider... Which was working fine.
I basically uploaded an identical copy of the site to the new provider

What version should I try?
At the moment I'm using 4.5.1

Cheers, Ben

Ahh, FMU6

Did you try an old version of FX.php? One that corresponds to FMU6, i e

>> Hi everyone

>> It was Off on the old provider.
>> But that shouldn't make any difference to the output of FX, should it?
>> magic_quotes_runtime and magic_quotes_sybase are set to Off on the old and

>> I've done a few tests... CURL calls are fine... no HTML special chars

>> Also if I set a bunch of HTML code into a variable, and echo that variable
>> out again the HTML special chars are preserved so the tags get rendered.

>> Any ideas / suggestions?
