Comment(by dd32):

 > +1 for removing slashes from _POST and _GET sothat - as dd32 makes bold
 My comment was never intended to be taken that way.

 I intended that the use of $_POST inside wordpress should be able to be
 replaced with $_REQUEST at any stage and operate the same. This infers
 that the slashes in REQUEST should be the same as POST. I am not referring
 to some non-WP application. '''Simple fact is, WordPress uses/expects
 POST/GET data to be slashed, Even though internally data is used unslashed
 in recent versions. $_REQUEST is NOT slashed, and therefor, cannot be used
 interchangably'''
