Is there actually any point to PHP's "magic quotes", if you have to use stripslashes() before doing anything sensible with form data?

It's so that newbies don't put major security holes in their scripts by passing unescaped data into MySQL. Still annoying, I guess.

Magic Quotes is one of the worst things about PHP. No language should touch my data!

That\'s the truth! :-D
