Thanks I would definitely check on magic_quotes, but the fact is it escapes those characters, so theres no way...its 
succeptable to sql injection. and ofcourse i am asking this question here means the develper has not done any  kind of 
sanitization checking. So, if SLQ injection is no possible even below given XXS wont be the case i guess,

'><script>alert('ur hacked')</script>

Thanks,

Gabbar.

Hi,

We have an internal web application written in PHP, in which the
developer has got following line.

At first sight I though its very much vulnerible to SQL Injection,
but I am not just able to demonstrate it. As when i send the
character " ' " it just escapes it before sending query to db as " '
" thus  failing my injection.

PHP has a feature known as magic quotes that can provide automatic 
escaping of quotes in user-submitted data.  I believe the configuration 
variables to look at are "magic_quotes_gpc" and "magic_quotes_sybase", 
or some variation on those; the documentation should be more revealing.

The developer may also have manually sanitized the data; I assume you 
have checked for that already?  The ideal means of handling input would 
be to have the code check whether magic quotes are enabled and to take 
appropriate action based on the result of that check.
