Sorry - but *you* mentioned off-topic examples for "security" twice
which have nothing to do with the topic of *PHP*. I never talked about
houses, bombs etc. - just security in *software*.

You claimed, security experts say, closed source is good for security.
If this statement was not about *software*, then your first statement
was already off-topic.

To get back to the topic: Magic Quotes was also an attempt to make PHP
scripts more secure by avoiding SQL injection. Unfortunately in the
early days of PHP the people behind PHP seemed to know little about
security and PHP was never meant as a powerful universal language for
web applications. Now we have still to deal with many of those
historical attempts to be "secure" like safe mode, Magic Quotes etc. -
but you must be aware, that PHP is not secure by design.
