Backslash characters on links \\\

Hi to everybody,

i use joomla 3.1.1. I am trying to insert a link on text (joomla articles or k2) like this:

<p><a href="http://www.gavick.com/" target="_self">TEST</a></p>


After saving link appears like this, and it is not functional
<p><a href=\"http://www.gavick.com/\" target=\"_self\">TEST</a></p>

Any suggestions how to fix that?

Thank you in advance

Thomas

It seems like magic_quotes is enabled on your server. Please check it first:
- use blank test.php file uploaded to your hosting server with: <?php phpinfo(); ?> inside
- open the file via browser (http://yoursite.com/test.php)
- check for magic_quotes parameter

Thank you very much, for your time.

My best regards
Thomas
