[...] point is, if magic quotes can stop this, so why is it going to be removed in php6? it can simply stay and be activated or deactivated on will.
This is the reason why it is going to be removed. It creates an ambiguity for server admins and developers alike since there is no setting you can rely on. I agree with the author of this text: http://erfurtwiki.sourceforge.net/AvoidMagicQuotes And I experienced some configurations where Magic Quotes creates more harm than potential security weaknesses. It's better to teach your developers how to handle escape characters.
