Bug #62526 [NEW]: magic_quotes_gpc is deprecated but defaults to 1

From: sun at unleashedmind dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.14 Package: PHP options/info functions Bug Type: Bug Bug description:magic_quotes_gpc is deprecated but defaults to 1 Description: ------------ http://php.net/manual/info.configuration.php states: Warning This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0. But yet: Name Default [...] Changelog magic_quotes_gpc "1" Removed in PHP 5.4.0. Pretty much all distros ship with PHP 5.3.x that has it disabled today: magic_quotes_gpc = Off But when PHP has no configuration file (which happens to be the case for CLI in some bundles/distros; e.g., MAMP), then the evil feature is unexpectedly enabled. Proposed solution: - Change the default to "0" (off). Related bugs: - https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61550 - philip stated that "It remains on by default with PHP 5.3.x", but did not give a reason for why that is. Any chance to discuss, or at least to get a reason?
