get_magic_quotes_gpc

GET_MAGIC_QUOTES_GPC(3) 						 1						   GET_MAGIC_QUOTES_GPC(3)

get_magic_quotes_gpc - Gets the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc

SYNOPSIS

       bool get_magic_quotes_gpc (void	)

DESCRIPTION

	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.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns 0 if magic_quotes_gpc is off, 1 otherwise. Or always returns FALSE as of PHP 5.4.0.

CHANGELOG

       +--------+---------------------------------------------------+
       |Version |						    |
       |	|						    |
       |	|		     Description		    |
       |	|						    |
       +--------+---------------------------------------------------+
       | 5.4.0	|						    |
       |	|						    |
       |	|  Always  returns  FALSE  because the magic quotes |
       |	| feature was removed from PHP. 		    |
       |	|						    |
       +--------+---------------------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      get_magic_quotes_gpc(3) 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(3)
	      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: ''
