Im converting my site to utf, which is mostly done except there is legacy code which needs to make use of stripslashes()
I've heard reports that stripslashes can corrupt utf data, but Im not sure I understand why. utf sets the upper bit for all non-first characters (to be compatble with ASCII), so is it safe to run on utf data or not?
Are there potential security vulnerabilities if I try to run stripslashes on utf data. I ran a few tests using invalid utf code with slashes, but wasnt able to come up with any
