Examples

Example #1 get_magic_quotes_gpc() example

<?php // If magic quotes are enabled echo $_POST['lastname'];             // O\'reilly echo addslashes($_POST['lastname'] // O\\\'reilly // Usage across all PHP versions 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: ''
