Public bug reported: Since last lucid security update, upgrading from 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.11 to php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.13 introduced a regression in ini_get("magic_quotes_gpc").
Even if magic_quotes are deprecated, this break codes relaying on detection of this ini. We can see clearly this problem : grep ^magic_quotes_gpc /etc/php5/cli/php.ini magic_quotes_gpc = On php -v PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.13 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Feb 9 2012 06:36:10) php -r 'var_dump(ini_get("magic_quotes_gpc"));' string(1) "0" php -v PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.11 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Dec 13 2011 18:49:27) php -r 'var_dump(ini_get("magic_quotes_gpc"));' string(1) "1" Maverick's php5 packages have the same behaviour : php -v PHP 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.9 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Feb 9 2012 06:37:37) php -r 'var_dump(ini_get("magic_quotes_gpc"));' string(1) "0" Thanks for your help ** Affects: php5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930115 Title: php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.13 introduced regression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/930115/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
