I think we need to create a section in the manual, similar to
"References
Explained" with all the information about magic quotes. What do you think?
Would be nice. Three of the cornerstones are: register_globals, references and magic_quotes :)
As long as you put a big blinking text "DO NOT USE THIS MISFEATURE" that's fine ;-)
Hehe :) Where should we create this section, Gabor? References is in "Language Reference", I'm not sure Magic Quotes would fall under this.
I thought about features or security, and the others provided quite decent reasons to put it into security. It's importance will even be elavated this way.
I think we can probably get away with ignoring register_globals, as it is off by default now.
There are a lot of questions still about nonexistant variables. This needs to stay in the manual (and is already documented under the security section). Goba
