RE: DB_escape_string
Hi Jo, I think it's a bit harsh to say PHP moves forward and the webERP code doesn't. We were very early on in sorting the BC issues of PHP 5.3 and 5.4 and have always endeavoured to stay ahead of the game. However many hosting companies are still running highly patched versions of PHP 5.2 so we cannot just use the latest functionality PHP offers. I hear WordPress still has 5.3 issues in their code.

It is true we have never slavishly followed the latest fashions in PHP coding but I see that as an advantage. I have seen several projects die because it is hard to maintain developer interest when you have to constantly change large amounts of code because of fashion changes. For a project with a small number of developers like webERP large scale disruptive changes such as this can be very damaging.

All this still feels to me like a solution in search of a problem. I haven't seen any examples of where our code is vulnerable (send me it privately if you have one so I can look into it).

Thanks
Tim

That was dumped, and the branch was deleted some time ago. Discussions have recently (in the past few weeks) started up again as to whether to create a new 6.0 branch and start again. There were fundamental flaws with the first attempt at 6.0.

Many hosting companies are still at 5.2 because changing to 5.3 will break a lot of web sites that they host.

Thanks
Tim
