**Magic quotes is the devil.**

It doesn't do any good for non-mysql environments anyway.  And I think 
non-mysql and multi-sql environments are getting more common these days.

I find it good practice to check get_magic_quotes_gpc() and recursively 
strip slashes if it is on.  That way the app can assume they are always off.
