editor adding the \ to the html code

I wasn't sure where to ask this. Here's the deal I have 7.9 patched 3.5. When using the editor to make content pages it is trying to help me with the html code by putting the \ in between the "" everytime I save the page. Which after saving a few times looks like this:

Well I tried to add the code but the forum wouldn't let me. Anyway suffice it to say that adding the \ everytime I save is causing the lines to get very long.

I have disabled the wysiwyg editor. Anybody got a fix for this?

Thanks

Disable magic quotes.
Or don't use the editor.

Your issue is probably with the PHP function: stripslashes

When the data is opened for viewing or editing, it sounds like the data or content is not removing the slashes.

For example, the code should have something similar to this:

stripslashes($text)

What I am trying to say is, what you are seeing is perfectly fine and necessary. However, that slash should be removed before it is viewed or edited.

I do not use version 7.9 so I cannot specifically tell you where to make sure stripslashes goes into the code.
