Makes sense. There's nothing specially evil in addslashes if used in appropriate context. Also, for those that are newer to PHP, "magic quotes" means very little. So it's a bad name from various perspectives. Having something like FILTER_SANITIZE_ADD_SLASHES would be fine. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
