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'];
}

$lastname = mysql_real_escape_string($lastname);
echo $lastname; // O\'reilly
$sql = "INSERT INTO lastnames (lastname) VALUES ('$lastname')";
?>
Note:
If the directive magic_quotes_sybase is ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc. So even when get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns
TRUEneither double quotes, backslashes or NUL's will be escaped. Only single quotes will be escaped. In this case they'll look like: ''
