Hi Arnold,

That is a lot of overhead on each request.
It loops over all superglobals and calls stripslashes on each of them
(in case magic_quotes is on).
You also do this for $_ENV and $_SERVER which seems strange to me
because magic_quotes only affects cookie/post/get.

magic_quotes_gpc Affects HTTP Request data (GET, POST, and COOKIE).
source: http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.what.php

And $_REQUEST should be avoided anyway in all situation (in my humble
opinion) for various reasons. But if you use it, it should indeed be
added to your list in your approach.

Regards,
Erwin Moller


Your code:
===========================================
ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);

if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$superglobals=array(
"_REQUEST",
"_GET",
"_POST",
"_COOKIE",
"_ENV",
"_SERVER");

foreach($superglobals as $globalname)
{
foreach($GLOBALS[$globalname] as $name => $value)
{
if(!is_array($value))
{
$GLOBALS[$globalname][$name] = stripslashes($value);
}
}
}
unset($superglobals);
}
===========================================
