If not, then there needs to be some reasonably straightforward way for an app to work out how PHP has messed up its input so that it can put it back together (compare get_magic_quotes_gpc()). In any case, it could be better documented. I see it is documented in these places: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php But not in any of these places: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.get.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.cookies.php -- Tim Starling
