Hey,
There have been several bug reports about magic_quotes_gpc being
broken, at the moment in 5.2.7 the escaping is not performed even when
enabled. So any applications that attempt to undo the work of
magic_quotes_gpc will end up with problems.
I've backed out the bug that broke this #42718
Since this is a relative serious issue from a security stand point if
people rely on it being enabled and a potential data loss for those
trying to undo it, I'd like to see a release packaged asap.
If Ilia agrees then could fixes to the 5.2 branch be restricted to
build fixes only.
Scott
