Test for magic_quotes_gpc?

[webref.eu]

Hi All

 

To make your script able to work on any server, do you always incorporate tests for magic_quotes_gpc in your code, e.g.

 

if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){

  $Username = addslashes($Username);

}

 

is this best practice or don't you bother? 

 

Thanks All.

magic_quotes is being depreciated. so normally, i check for the opposite (stripslahses if it's enabled)

i usually use something like this to stripslashes on everything:

 

<?php
if(function_exists("get_magic_quotes_gpc") && get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
  $func = create_function('&$value','$value = stripslashes($value);');
  array_walk_recursive($_GET,$func);
  array_walk_recursive($_POST,$func);
  array_walk_recursive($_COOKIE,$func);
}
?>
