note 97783 added to function.get-magic-quotes-gpc

Here's what I came up with to remove magic quotes from request data. Replaces two single-quotes with one if magic_quotes_sybase are on, otherwise it just strips slashes. Note that the foreach style makes this work only with PHP 5 and above. <?php // Strip magic quotes from request data. if (function_exists('get_magic_quotes_gpc') && get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { // Create lamba style unescaping function (for portability) $quotes_sybase = strtolower(ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase')); $unescape_function = (empty($quotes_sybase) || $quotes_sybase === 'off') ? 'stripslashes($value)' : 'str_replace("\'\'","\'",$value)'; $stripslashes_deep = create_function('&$value, $fn', ' if (is_string($value)) { $value = ' . $unescape_function . '; } else if (is_array($value)) { foreach ($value as &$v) $fn($v, $fn); } '); // Unescape data $stripslashes_deep($_POST, $stripslashes_deep); $stripslashes_deep($_GET, $stripslashes_deep); $stripslashes_deep($_COOKIE, $stripslashes_deep); $stripslashes_deep($_REQUEST, $stripslashes_deep); } ?> ---- Server IP: 80.67.10.226 Probable Submitter: 82.182.121.197 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97783 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97783/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97783/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97783/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97783/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97783/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97783/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97783 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97783 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
