does not matter
anybody who maintains a server should make a explicit config
and not relying on random defaults
Fine if you actually have ACCESS to the ini file !!!!
If you are on a service where access is not available, and the settings change
breaking your site ...
The point I was trying to make is that simply switching something off that
running and currently functional code expects to be on - because that is how
they are provided with the service currently - is what needs managing. Hopefully
we are not going back to the days when things were simply broken without
warning, such as happened when PHP5.1 was pushed out ...
It is more about managing the change than simply removing magic quotes? The
history of that proposed change is relevant since it highlights why some perhaps
now incorrect choices were made, but simply reverting a choice needs to be
documented properly.
Perhaps what I am looking for is some notes somewhere to direct people to WHEN
their sites stop working as they have been for many years? Yes I know it's not
the developers problem, but just as the change from PHP4, there is a LOT of
legacy code that someone will need to change, and where people have made that
change, their input would be helpful to others?
