Hi,
maybe, your production servers don't have php 5.3.

Definitely because you don't have PHP5.3 installed, php.activerecord needs PHP5.3 as it uses the new namespaces feature primarily (plus late static binding if memory serves). These 2 features are not available on any previous versions.
As for not being able to disable magic_quotes_gpc, I'd find a new host sooner rather then later as that is one of THE most irritating "features" in the world.
Your best bet for fixing these issues would be to use a different production web host, I don't know of many that offer PHP5.3 on a shared hosting service though, (I currently have a DreamHost server with a custom PHP install) if you find any do let us know!

Subject: Help me please, ActiveRecord doesn't work on production server. The namespace character breaks the application.
Hi Guys,
I started working with ActiveRecord a few days ago and I found it very helpful. I made some tests on my laptop and everything worked fine. But when I decided to upload the code to the production server(Hosting Service), it didn't work. I'm getting the next error messages:
Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/a2036470/public_html/shopping_cart/Config/Inc.php on line 63
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a2036470/public_html/shopping_cart/Config/Inc.php on line 63
That line in my code is this:
$_ActiveRecordConfig = ActiveRecord\Config::instance();
I can see that the problem is with the "\" character. I have tried in many hosting services and I'm still getting the same error. And also I tried to disable the directive: "magic_quotes_gpc". I couldn't do that neither runtime nor .htaccess file.
On my local machine "magic_quotes_gpc" is set to "off". But on the hosting servers it is set to "on". And I have not achieve to disable it. In some attempts I have only gotten t a 500 error (using .htaccess).
At this moment I'm very frustrated, because I found it very interesting and helpful. And it seems I'm not going to bring it to a production environment.
I think it is a bad idea to use the character "\" as a namespace separator. And that is my problem.
I wonder if there is another character or way to do reference to a namespace without using that character.
I hope you guys can help me, give me a solution or another option.
Congratulations to the creator(s) of this amazing tool.
Thanks in advance.
