There are two aspects:
1) undoing magic quotes (if it's being used).
This must be done for all GET and POST string inputs.
It is now done automatically by get_str() and post_str().
The places that refer to $_GET and $_POST directly
must do it themselves using undo_magic_quotes().
2) Escaping user-supplied strings before using them in DB queries.
This is done by process_user_text()
(which should be renamed db_escape_string()).
The new principle:
call process_user_text() in the function that does the DB query
(not at any higher level).

which added only confusion.
Implement login directly, using cookies.
- All cookie setting/clearing now goes through two functions,
send_cookie() and clear_cookie().
These deal with path and expiry
(e.g. if you want to have different language or forum settings
on two projects on the same server, that now works).

search (keywords, country, type).
Have the new-user scenario route the user through this page.
Also, link to it rather than team.php for existing users.
- user web: use cookies rather than URLs to identify new users,
and show "Welcome to X" when they reach their user page.
- user web: don't show user intermediate page for join/quit team.
Just take them to their user page.
