Very simple.
If magic_quotes_gpc is on, PHP does an addslashes() on all stuff
that comes in via HTTP GET, HTTP POST or a cookie. And, there's
a lovely function get_magic_quotes_gpc() that tells you its
status.
So:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
// Magic quotes is on, we don't want stuff escaped.
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
This is handy to use in your script even if you know the way your
system is set up in php.ini - if you port your script to another
server that is set up differently, then it'll still work as you
expect.
