I installed FreiChatX.. followed the installation instructions... edited the parameters.... everything looks great.

I was testing the script using two different browsers, and different login credentials. Was working great.

Here is the issue:

When I typed a long message, using words with punctuation ie: "That's"... the message would not transmit. It seems to only be an apostrophe that causes this challenge.

Any thoughts?

looks like you have magic_quotes_gpc enabled,try to put the below code in the first line of ~/freichat/server/freichat.php

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $process = array(&$_GET, &$_POST, &$_COOKIE, &$_REQUEST);
    while (list($key, $val) = each($process)) {
        foreach ($val as $k => $v) {
            unset($process[$key][$k]);
            if (is_array($v)) {
                $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = $v;
                $process[] = &$process[$key][stripslashes($k)];
            } else {
                $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = stripslashes($v);
            }
        }
    }
    unset($process);
}

Sorry to be so stupid... but I don't write code...ever.

You will need to be a little more specific about where to place this code. The first few lines of the freichat.php file contain the following code.

<?php session_start();
require("../define.php");

class freichat extends freichatXconstruct
{
public $userdata;
public $messages=array();

public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
require_once RDIR.'/server/drivers/'.$this->driver.'.php';
$this->url=str_replace('server/freichat.php','',$this->url);
$this->frm_id=$_SESSION[$this->uid.'usr_ses_id'];
$this->frm_name=$_SESSION[$this->uid.'usr_name'];
$this->connectDB();
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
public function bigintval($value)
{
$value = trim($value);
if (ctype_digit($value)) {
return $value;
}
$value = preg_replace("/[^0-9](.*)$/", '', $value);
if (ctype_digit($value)) {
return $value;
}
return 0;
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
public function makeClickableLinks($text)
{


SO....where exactly should I place this code? Sorry for being such a novice. But, I really like the script otherwise.

the code will look like this after pasting

<?php session_start();
require("../define.php");
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$process = array(&$_GET, &$_POST, &$_COOKIE, &$_REQUEST);
while (list($key, $val) = each($process)) {
foreach ($val as $k => $v) {
unset($process[$key][$k]);
if (is_array($v)) {
$process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = $v;
$process[] = &$process[$key][stripslashes($k)];
} else {
$process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = stripslashes($v);
}
}
}
unset($process);
}
.
.
.

Well....that worked. You're amazing!

Thanks for the help.
