I have a CentOS 5 VPS and I have just installed my website there. But I have problems that when I’m inserting special characters into the password field like: ‘ (apostophe) or something like that, I always get the error, that this password is incorrect :/ I guess this is because of the Linux System. Am I right? Or maybe because of te sanitizing I’m doing?

I’d be gald if anyone could help me.

EDIT:

function array_sanitize(&$item) {
    $item = htmlentities(strip_tags(mysql_real_escape_string($item)));
}

    If your magic quote is enabled, then you should turn it off:
    Edit these in your php.ini:

    ; Magic quotes
;

; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data.
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc.
magic_quotes_runtime = Off

; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \').
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

    Or you can put this in .htaccess in document root:

    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
