get_magic_quotes_gpc
(PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )
get_magic_quotes_gpc -- Gets the current active configuration setting of magic quotes gpcDescription
int get_magic_quotes_gpc ( void )Returns the current active configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc (0 for off, 1 for on).
Note: If the directive magic_quotes_sybase is ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc . So even when get_magic_quotes() 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: ''
Keep in mind that magic_quotes_gpc can not be set at runtime.


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()) {
$lastname = addslashes($_POST['lastname']);
} else {
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
}
echo $lastname; // O\'reilly
$sql = "INSERT INTO lastnames (lastname) VALUES ('$lastname')";
?>
