#40890 [NEW]: long set_magic_quotes_gpc(int new_setting)

From: bothie at gmx dot de Operating system: any PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: long set_magic_quotes_gpc(int new_setting) Description: ------------ Add functions like "long set_magic_quotes_gpc(int new_setting)" Having security in mind, many web application (WA) programmers expect magic_quotes_gpc to be set (or to be not set). It's possible to write WAs which can tolerate both settings but the most easiest ist to have just magic_quotes_gpc being set which is the default of course. But some sites have magic_quotes_gpc not set. So mixing WAs expecting magic_quotes_gpc to be set and WAs expecting magic_quotes_gpc not to be set is impossible. A new introduced function set_magic_quotes_gpc would change that as any program can enforce that setting in that way which it self expects it for it's own runtime. (This feature request should be seen a little bit more general, any other value which could be set in php.ini should get it's set_ counterpart as well except for some exceptions like disable_functions, for which a set- counterpart may not be so wise - or at least a set_disable_function should only be able to ADD additional functions to the set of disabled functions, not to REMOVE any of them specified in php.ini). (I've just seen the ini_set-function and am very disappointed about it NOT supporting a change to magic_quotes_gpc!) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40890&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40890&r=mysqlcfg
