This article lacks one very basic piece of information: there is a lot of information about the subject of the article (PHP's magic quotes), but it totally fails to say what they are... Could someone please re-phrase the incipit in order to start with a clear definition of what we are talking about? 188.219.235.35 (talk) 16:20, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well said. I came here to make exactly the same point. Mhkay (talk) 09:28, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
