Won't the code snippet given in this example yield undefined behaviour at some point? <?php if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ... ?> since get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns int (0 || 1), then the value returned must be casted to bool before using it in an if-statement. I don't know the details of the if() in PHP, but in C 1 and 0 are equal to true and false, respectively. C++ has boolean types. Anyway, I just think (if the above example works), that it should be changed to either be casted to bool or compared to an actual integer---only to provide "best practice". note: the php manual has specified the if() to specifically evaluate on boolean types! the value in the if() must evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE. return 0; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59815 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59815&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59815&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59815&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59815&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59815&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59815&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59815&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59815&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
