I wouldn't be "concerned" about using them at all - they're not a security risk or anything (like register_globals). If you know the environment you are developing for then take advantage of it. The only reason you need to be careful is if you're writing software to give to other people (i.e. to install on servers you have no control over) in which case you cannot ever assume they will have magic quotes on so do some checks first to find out (there are PHP functions to do this). -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
