#43732 [Opn->Bgs]: Implement dummy get / set_magic_quotes_runtime for compatibility

ID: 43732 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: samuel at slbdata dot se -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request PHP Version: 6CVS-2008-01-02 (snap) New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php That's intentional that way, this way we can make sure people see this change and update their application. For compatibility you can use something like if (!function_exists('get_magic_quotes')) { function get_magic_quotes() { return false; } } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-02 22:55:12] samuel at slbdata dot se Description: ------------ In PHP 6 magic_quotes has been removed completely, but many scripts use get/set_magic_quotes_runtime to DISABLE it. These scripts break with PHP 6, even though they do not use magic_quotes. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $old = get_magic_quotes_runtime(); set_magic_quotes_runtime(0); // Do something here set_magic_quotes_runtime($old); Expected result: ---------------- Because the script tried to disable magic_quotes, it should work. I suggest that the behavior in PHP 6 is changed to: get_magic_quotes_runtime() // always returns 0 set_magic_quotes_runtime(0) // does nothing set_magic_quotes_runtime(1) // fatal error (0 and 1 could of course be replaced with anything that is equal to FALSE or TRUE, respectively) Actual result: -------------- With php6.0-200801022130 I get: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_magic_quotes_runtime() in - on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43732&edit=1
