 * To make a long story short —
 * I used Fantistico in cPanel to install WordPress 1.5.1.3.
 * The installation went fine, and WordPress is running.
 * The problem that I encountered is that every apostrophe in posts becomes doubled.
 * For example: Here’s tryin’ it one more time.
    Becomes: Here”s tryin” it one more
   time.
 * Those are two single apostrophes in a row, not a quotation mark.
 * I placed this line in the .htaccess file, but it didn’t help:
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc
   off
 * At my request, my excellent host put this line into php.ini and
    restarted Apache,
   but that didn’t help, either: magic_quotes_gpc = Off
 * Here is some additional server information:
 * Operating system Linux
    Kernel version 2.6.9-11.ELsmp Machine Type i686 Apache
   version 1.3.33 (Unix) PERL version 5.8.7 PHP version 4.4.0 MySQL version 4.1.13-
   standard cPanel Build 10.2.0-STABLE 83
 * Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
