[dev-announce] New post at PowerBlogs.Com Development

Hello,
	There is a new post on PowerBlogs.Com Development.  You can read it at:

http://dev.powerblogs.com/posts/1084263975.shtml

It begins:

	There was a nasty PHP bug in the signup code which
	added \ characters if the blog's title contained
	any sort of quotes. I eventually tracked this down
	to a "feature" controlled through the
	magic_quote_gpc variable in the main PHP
	configuration file. I suppose that this might do
	someone good, but turning it off did the trick.
	(The correct way to make your CGI secure is through
	using regular expressions to verify input, not by
	having your language automatically mangle every
	string that it sees.)...
