I had a problem with a form not saving some records to the DB.
I could get to understand that the problem was at single quotes " ' " entered at the form not being escaped before the field got inserted to the DB.

As I´m just a begginer with PHP, I added the following code to chronocontact.php at line 20 and it started working, but I'm sure that a better solution should be handy to those who developed the component.

$posted = array();
$posted = $_POST;

// HACK by ignacio cavina - problem with unescaped strings store to db
//create array to temporarily grab variables
$input_arr = array();
//grabs the $_POST variables and adds slashes
foreach ($_POST as $key => $input_arr) {
    $_POST[$key] = addslashes($input_arr);
}
// END HACK

This also caused my emails getting three \\\ (double addingslashes). By the way I applied a hack to this file, I don't remember what for, but I know I got it in this forum. :?

Anybody knows why would I have ChronoContact listed twice in my Components list? May that be related to the problem?

Lastly, would an upgrade to v.3 fix this ?

Thanks!

Hi ignacio,

an upgrade to V3.0 stable is highly expected to fix this issue, give it a try and let me know!

Cheers,
Max
