Note Submitter: Anders Sørensen ---- 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;
