(PHP 4, PHP 5)
get_magic_quotes_gpc — Gets the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc
Returns the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc
Keep in mind that attempting to set magic_quotes_gpc at runtime will not work.
For more information about magic_quotes, see this security section.
Returns 0 if magic_quotes_gpc is off, 1 otherwise.
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')";
?>
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: ''
