OK let's get this working on IIS
I have a site running g1.19 on IIS that’s doing ok, but you know, it’s good to upgrade. So I got a sandbox database/site ready and boy am I glad I didn’t just do a cutover upgrade cause there are some issues.
Since this is not a time-critical upgrade, I am taking my time and documenting everything I can about txp on IIS, which won’t be a lot since I am not an IIS expert but I have a little experience.
Any input on these issues?
- Language updates aren’t working:
Warning: gzinflate(): data error in C:\Inetpub2\zeta\sporck\textpattern\lib\IXRClass.php on line 556– but I suspect this is problem with the language server - All slashes and double quotes are escaped (in forms, pages, etc).
(folder names have been changed)

Re: OK let's get this working on IIS
Haven’t touched clean urls yet, but I’ll be looking at getting that working (with ISAPI Rewrite) & documenting it, after I get these showstoppers worked out.

Re: OK let's get this working on IIS
I looked at it and tried to examine a var_dump…but my immediate problem is, something magical is happening with quotes. Every time I modify or save a page, for example, another level of slash-escaping is added.
So now my page code looks like:
<pre><code><html xmlns=\\\“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\\\” xml:lang=\\\“en\\\” lang=\\\“en\\\”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=\\\“content-type\\\” content=\\\“text/html; charset=utf-8\\\” />
<link rel=\\\“stylesheet\\\” href=\\\”<txp:css />\\\” type=\\\“text/css\\\” media=\\\“screen\\\” /></code></pre>
And my var_dump looks like:
<pre><code>
<pre>
<?php
var_dump($GLOBALS[\‘pretext\’]);
?>
</pre>
</code></pre>
So I need to get rid of those slashes some how.

I wonder if the php/mysql versions on the server are just out of date.

Re: OK let's get this working on IIS
Textpattern strips out slashes in the ps() and gps() functions in txplib_misc.php. Perhaps you can do some var_dump()s in that function and see why they’re not being stripped.
You’ll be able to stop it by changing the magic_quotes ini setting, but that won’t help others – it’d be much better to find out why it’s not working in the first place.

Re: OK let's get this working on IIS
I had some time to look at this today. I changed part of the gps() to look like this:
<pre><code>
} elseif (isset($_POST[$thing])) {
echo ‘<pre>magic quotes:’.get_magic_quotes_gpc().’</pre>’;
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
echo ‘<pre>back in gps():’.var_dump(doStrip($_POST[$thing])).’</pre>’;
return doStrip($_POST[$thing]);
} else {
return $_POST[$thing];
}
}
return ‘’;
}
</code></pre>
What I found is that A) my debug statements are reached, so get_magic_quotes is detecting properly, and B) doStrip($_POST[$thing]) does in fact return a stripslash()ed copy of the data as it should (I tested it on the presentation > pages tab in txp, saving a page).
So the problem is upstream from gps somewhere. …

Re: OK let's get this working on IIS
We’ve had occasional reports of problems. Apparently it’s been overlooked until now – it’s rare for that to be on by default.
