A case where you do not need to escape is when you are about to compare the UI (User Input) with a
database through MD5 hashes, infact if you do, the password stored in the database will not match
the one in the request.
I had a living hell trying to solve this in my earlier days, so I just wanted to enligthen any
other newbies,
<?php
$try_pass=md5($_POST['u_pass']);
?>
is sufficient escaping.
Cheers
