Re: Re: PHP 5.2.7 + magic_quotes_gpc broken

Should the 5.3 release be re-branched perhaps as well, since it too has this problem? On 7-Dec-08, at 1:33 PM, Marcus Boerger wrote:

I will be re-branching 5.2.7 with this revert for the purpose of 5.2.8 this week. This will allow the normal 5.2 bug fixing to continue as normal.

Hey, There have been several bug reports about magic_quotes_gpc being broken, at the moment in 5.2.7 the escaping is not performed even when enabled. So any applications that attempt to undo the work of magic_quotes_gpc will end up with problems. I've backed out the bug that broke this #42718 Since this is a relative serious issue from a security stand point if people rely on it being enabled and a potential data loss for those trying to undo it, I'd like to see a release packaged asap. If Ilia agrees then could fixes to the 5.2 branch be restricted to build fixes only. Scott
