note 55196 added to function.get-magic-quotes-gpc

Depending the server config, magic-quotes are the better thing to make unportable scripts, they are *evil*. So I systematicaly execute the following undo_magic_quotes( ), then I simply use mysql_real_escape_string( ), htmlentities( ), etc. when I need. <?php function undo_magic_quotes( ) { if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc( ) ) { $_GET = array_map_recursive('stripslashes', $_GET) ; $_POST = array_map_recursive('stripslashes', $_POST) ; $_COOKIE = array_map_recursive('stripslashes', $_COOKIE) ; $_REQUEST = array_map_recursive('stripslashes', $_REQUEST) ; } } if ( ! function_exists('array_map_recursive') ) { function array_map_recursive($function, $data) { foreach ( $data as $i => $item ) { $data[$i] = is_array($item) ? array_map_recursive($function, $item) : $function($item) ; } return $data ; } } ?> ---- 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+55196 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55196&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55196&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55196&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55196&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55196&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55196&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55196&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
