Examples

Example #1 get_magic_quotes_gpc() example

 <?php
echo get_magic_quotes_gpc();         // 1
echo $_POST['lastname'];             // O\'reilly
echo addslashes($_POST['lastname']); // O\\\'reilly

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $lastname = stripslashes($_POST['lastname']);
}
else {
    $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
}

// If using MySQL
$lastname = mysql_real_escape_string($lastname);

echo $lastname; // O\'reilly
$sql = "INSERT INTO lastnames (lastname) VALUES ('$lastname')";
?>

Notes

Note:
If the directive magic_quotes_sybase is ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc. So even when get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns TRUE neither double quotes, backslashes or NUL's will be escaped. Only single quotes will be escaped. In this case they'll look like: ''

get_magic_quotes_gpc
