This is documented now.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-12 04:06:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] With the following configuration: magic_quotes_sybase = on magic_quotes_gpc = on Currently (as of php4.3.0-dev) the following behavior exists: a) Makes GPC foo's into foo''s (as advertised) b) Doesn't touch foo"s, foo"s remains foo"s. The same can be said for \ and NUL's as they are unaffected by magic_quotes_gpc when _sybase is On! In summary, _sybase takes over _gpc and only ' are escaped. The rest remain untouched as if _gpc is off. This behavior is unexpected to me as I would still expect magic_quotes_gpc to affect ", \ and NUL's. get_magic_quotes_gpc() still returns true even when ", \ and NUL's are not escaped, this seems odd. I haven't seen one quotes management solution out there in phpland that takes into account _sybase so am a little worried. Proposal: If both _gpc and _sybase are On: a) foo's turns to foo''s as advertised (like current) b) magic_quotes_gpc will still affect everything else except single quotes, with backslashes. Regarding BC. I'm not sure if this change will affect BC nor am I all that familiar with Sybase or character escaping in general so please comment. I vote the above proposal is discussed and if approved implemented into PHP 4.3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20384&edit=1 -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
