Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-24 08:36:23] aharvey@php.net Depressingly, it's still on by default. (Check main/main.c in trunk if you don't believe me.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-24 08:24:22] shein@php.net Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.addslashes#Description --- Fix the following paragraph because magic_quotes_gpc is off now by default: The PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc is on by default, and it essentially runs addslashes() on all GET, POST, and COOKIE data. Do not use addslashes() on strings that have already been escaped with magic_quotes_gpc as you'll then do double escaping. The function get_magic_quotes_gpc() may come in handy for checking this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54365&edit=1
