A few topics for this section:
Yes, very good list Phillip, though I'm not sure the content lends itself to the security section. Perhaps features, perhaps tutorial?
A tutorial section would be nice, however, we dont apparantly have any such section :)
The only thing we need to do is decide where we want to put this new section, (ofcourse and write the actual content!)
Of the existing sections I see either adding it to: 1. The FAQ: What exactly are all these slashes about? or 2. Appendix T: All about stripping slashes. I'd prefer #1, since appendix is like a 'Misc' section which I personally despise :)
I think it all belongs in the security section. The section on register_globals has similar examples to the proposed list for magical quotes. And it's all about security.
I also clearly vote for the security section. The whole magic quotes stuff was invented for security reasons (false sense of security that is). Goba
