Hi all,
If this is going to be implemented as a class, what is the advantage of instantiation for this? Unless I'm missing it, I would propose that the functions are made static. In other words, I would prefer this: echo Escaper::escapeHtml('<b>test</b>'); over this: $e = new Escaper; echo $e->escapeHtml('<b>test</b>'); Regards, Tomas > Hi all, > > I've written an RFC for PHP over at: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/escaper. > The RFC is a proposal to implement a standardised means of escaping > data which is being output into XML/HTML. > > Cross-Site Scripting remains one of the most common vulnerabilities in > web applications and there is a continued lack of understanding > surrounding how to properly escape data.
