note 43033 added to function.get-magic-quotes-gpc

IMHO it seems a lot of people dislike magic quotes - but I think they are important. The number one priority in my mind is to avoid SQL injection attacks and this is where magic quotes work well. Another words - Force developers to get rid of magic quotes when they are displaying information to the user BUT - Always ensure that any SQL statements when used with user input will be SAFE avoiding an major security breaches. Magic quotes SHOULD NOT be removed from the PHP laungage, as disabling them is as simple as changing the php.ini file. For those on shared servers - sorry but it's no surprise that the administrators have left magic quotes on. ---- 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+43033 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43033&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43033&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
