Eh, from the "Ten Security Checks for PHP, Part 1", I can't see that
anyone says that those functions are wrong.  The functions are listed
in the "what to look for" section.  Anyone auditing a PHP program
should "look for" those functions, and check that they do what is
mentioned in the "Possible fixes or improvement" section.
