The WTF factor for that would be off the scale. Think about how many bug reports about addslashes() not working we'd have to bogusify. -1
I agree. That's why I thought it may be better to wait until PHP5 and I promised to edit the manual now ;) In PHP5, there are compatibility issues anyway. IMHO, magic quote is handly for very simple applications but not for more complex applications. It's also not a recommended way to rely on to secure code. I guess majority of PHP application developers are willing to get rid of magic_quote_gpc=On support from thier code. Anyone willing to maintain compatibility for magic_quote_gpc=On setting for your scripts? Any comments? -- Yasuo Ohgaki
