Hello guys, today when I was try to install Joomla on my server it prevents me from continue because of Magic Quotes GPC = ON , so I red about this and saw many sites and PHP iteself recommended to shut this feature,
my question is in my projects I use function I've created to filter the $_POST variables
<?php
function filter($text)
{
$text = trim($text);
$text = strip_tags($text);
$text = str_ireplace("select","",$text);
$text = str_ireplace("union", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace("update","",$text);
$text = str_ireplace("insert","",$text);
$text = str_ireplace("join","",$text);
$text = str_ireplace("'", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace(";", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace("$", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace("#", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace(">", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace("<", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace("*", "", $text);
$text = str_ireplace('"', '', $text);
$text = mysql_real_escape_string($text);
return $text;
}
?>
usage
$some_var = filter ($_POST['var']);
if I turned off the Magic Quotes GPC does my project still works ?
