#40586 [NEW]: _ENV vars get espcaped when magic_quotes_gpc is on

From: gk at gknw dot de Operating system: at least NetWare, Win32 PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: _ENV vars get espcaped when magic_quotes_gpc is on Description: ------------ With PHP 4.3.x and 4.4.x the _ENV superglobals get escaped if they contain backslahes and magic_quotes_gpc is on. This does happen with the Apache SAPI as well as with the CLI on commandline. When I getenv() same environment vars this doesnt happen. Also compared to PHP 5.2.x where this doesnt happen - regardless of the magic_quotes_gpc setting. I digged through the docu but couldnt find anything about this 'feature' mentioned with 4.x, nor the difference that it was dropped with 5.x. Expected result: ---------------- I think this 'feature' should be mentioned in the docu, and the difference between 4.x and 5.x behaviour, also because with 4.x magic_quotes_gpc is on by default. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40586&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40586&r=mysqlcfg
