get_magic_quotes_gpc
Gets the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc
Description
bool get_magic_quotes_gpc
( void
)
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.
Return Values
Returns 0 if magic_quotes_gpc is off, 1 otherwise.
Or always returns FALSE as of PHP 5.4.0.
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: ''
