note 60311 added to security.magicquotes.disabling

The stripslashes_deep method is probably not the best way to undo the "damage" done by magic quotes. The function copies the array passed to it, then array_map copies the array, and the return value is written over the old variables. Also, $_REQUEST isn't taken into consideration in the above method. I see this as a great place to use references. So here's a piece of code that I think should be faster: <?php function arrayStripSlashes(&$array) { foreach($array as &$value) { if (is_array($value)) { arrayStripSlashes($value); } else { $value = stripslashes($value); } } } if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { arrayStripSlashes($_POST); arrayStripSlashes($_REQUEST); arrayStripSlashes($_GET); arrayStripSlashes($_COOKIE); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.disabling.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60311 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60311&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60311&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60311&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60311&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60311&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60311&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60311&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60311&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
