How to enable/disable Magic Quotes GPC

Incoming data is automatically escaped to the PHP script by the Magic Quotes process. With PHP5.3.0, this feature was DEPRECATED, then with PHP5.4.0, it was REMOVED. It is preferable to code without magic quotes and to escape the data when necessary at runtime.

You can enable/disable magic_quotes_gpc in php.ini & .htaccess depending on how php/apache are compiled.

1. Enable/disable using php.ini.
   Copy server’s php.ini under your public_html. Find for magic_quotes_gpc. Set it to On OR Off as required.

Now, open .htaccess and add “SetEnv PHPRC /home/user/public_html”. Doing this, the php.ini will be used by all files & directories. Not just the main directory.

2. Enable/disable using .htaccess.
   Adding the following line will disable it. Change from off to on if you want it to be enabled.

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
