# get_magic_quotes_gpc

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.6, PHP 4, PHP 5)

get_magic_quotes_gpc -- Gets the current configuration setting of magic quotes gpc

## Description

int get_magic_quotes_gpc ( void )

Returns the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc (0 for off, 1 for on).

> 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: ''

Keep in mind that the setting magic_quotes_gpc will not work at runtime.

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()) { $lastname = addslashes($_POST['lastname']); } else { $lastname = $_POST['lastname']; } echo $lastname; // O\'reilly $sql = "INSERT INTO lastnames (lastname) VALUES ('$lastname')"; ?>`
