Features

Emulate register_globals

Add this lines to your application's entry point (like in auto_prepend_file):

<?php $request = new Gongo\MercifulPolluter\Request; $request->pollute(); // main routine...

If use the session, call Gongo\MercifulPolluter\Session::pollute() after session_start():

session_start(); /**  * $_SESSION['user_id'] = 'gongo'  */ (new Gongo\MercifulPolluter\Session)->pollute(); var_dump($user_id); // string(5) "gongo" // Reference global variables to session. $user_id = 'taro'; var_dump($_SESSION['user_id']); // string(4) "taro"

Emulate magic_quotes_gpc

If want to apply magic_quotes_gpc, call Gongo\MercifulPolluter\Request::enableMagicQuotesGpc():

<?php /**  * example.com/?foo=1'2'3  */ $request = new Gongo\MercifulPolluter\Request; $request->enableMagicQuotesGpc(); $request->pollute(); // $_GET['foo'] => "1\'2\'3" // $foo => "1\'2\'3"
