Hello,
I don't post here often, but I wanted to input my thoughts. For the
most part, I am a end user who developers PHP applications for mine
and others needs.
We can't just drop something so soon and expect others to catch up and
be able to operate with no problems at all. There is tons of
applications out there that still only develop using the latest stable
version of PHP and do not realize that development versions of PHP
will break their applications. Personally all my scripts work all the
way up to PHP 6, but I know others I do download and use won't even
operate in 5.3 as it is right now.
I would suggest adding the deprecated note on the magic quotes feature
for 5.3. Just leave it at that. So those developing scripts know the
feature is deprecated, as well provide documentation on php.net on
using alternative methods to magic quotes. While this means having to
maintain testing magic quotes in PHP threw 5.3, this will give people
enough time (years at that), to get rid of magic quotes.
