# get_magic_quotes_gpc

(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

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

For more information about magic_quotes, see this security section.

### Return Values

Returns 0 if magic quotes gpc are off, 1 otherwise.

### Examples

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')";
?>`

### 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: ''
