    Here's what I came up with to remove magic quotes from request data.

    Replaces two single-quotes with one if magic_quotes_sybase are on, otherwise it just strips slashes.

    Note that the `foreach` style makes this work only with PHP 5 and above.

    <?php

    // Strip magic quotes from request data.
    if (function_exists('get_magic_quotes_gpc') && get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
            // Create lamba style unescaping function (for portability)
            $quotes_sybase = strtolower(ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase'));
            $unescape_function = (empty($quotes_sybase) || $quotes_sybase === 'off') ? 'stripslashes($value)' : 'str_replace("\'\'","\'",$value)';
            $stripslashes_deep = create_function('&$value, $fn', '
            if (is_string($value)) {
                $value = '     . $unescape_function . ';
            } else if (is_array($value)) {
                foreach ($value as &$v) $fn($v, $fn);
            }
        '    );
       
            // Unescape data
            $stripslashes_deep($_POST, $stripslashes_deep);
            $stripslashes_deep($_GET, $stripslashes_deep);
            $stripslashes_deep($_COOKIE, $stripslashes_deep);
            $stripslashes_deep($_REQUEST, $stripslashes_deep);
    }

    ?>

    Escaping of key-strings in GPC-arrays behave different to the escaping of their values.

    First I expected that keys in submitted gpc-arrays are never escaped.
    Anyway. After I saw escaped keys, I assumed they're escaped according to the settings of magic quotes.
    ... it's even worse...

    It took me over 2 days of testing to figure out the exact behavior and creating two functions (one for each php-version) that strips slashes reliably from any array submitted to a script. Hope this saves someones time and nerves.

    The following is true for $_GET- and $_POST-arrays. I hope other arrays affected by magic quotes behave equally.
    I did not test the behavior for cases where magic_quotes_sybase is set.

    == legend for possible case combinations ==
    Px = php version we're using
        P4 = php 4.3.9
        P5 = php 5.0.2

    MQ = MagicQuotes GPC
        +MQ = magic quotes enabled
        -MQ = magic quotes disabled

    TL = TopLevel key
        +TL = key is on top level (i.e. $_GET['myKey'])
        -TL = key is nested within another array (i.e. $_GET['myList']['myKey'])

    AK = ArrayKey
        +AK = the value of the key is another array (i.e. is_array($_GET['myKey']) == true)
        -AK = the value is a normal string (i.e. is_string($_GET['myKey']) == true)

    == legend for possible results ==
    KE = KeyEscaping
        +KE = control chars are prefixed with a backslash
        -KE = key is returned as submitted and needn't to be stripped

    VE = ValueEscaping (doesn't apply for array as value)
        +VE = control chars are prefixed with a backslash
        -VE = value is returned as submitted and needn't to be stripped

    == here we go - the following rules apply ==
    1) P4 +MQ +AK +TL --> -KE
    2) P4 +MQ +AK -TL --> +KE
    3) P4 +MQ -AK +TL --> -KE +VE
    4) P4 +MQ -AK -TL --> +KE +VE
    5) P4 -MQ +AK +TL --> -KE
    6) P4 -MQ +AK -TL --> -KE
    7) P4 -MQ -AK +TL --> -KE -VE
    8) P4 -MQ -AK -TL --> -KE -VE
    9) P5 +MQ +AK +TL --> -KE
    10) P5 +MQ +AK -TL --> +KE
    11) P5 +MQ -AK +TL --> +KE +VE
    12) P5 +MQ -AK -TL --> +KE +VE
    13) P5 -MQ +AK +TL --> -KE
    14) P5 -MQ +AK -TL --> -KE
    15) P5 -MQ -AK +TL --> +KE -VE
    16) P5 -MQ -AK -TL --> +KE -VE
    17) The chars '.', ' ' are always replaced by '_' when used in keys.

    Example (rule 15):
    When running under php 5.0.2 having magic quotes disabled, gpc-keys on top level containing strings are escaped while their associated values are not.

    == The following function will strip GPC-arrays for php 4.3.9 ==

    <?php
    function transcribe($aList, $aIsTopLevel = true) {
            $gpcList = array();
            $isMagic = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
       
        foreach (    $aList as $key => $value) {
                $decodedKey = ($isMagic && !$aIsTopLevel)?stripslashes($key):$key;
            if (    is_array($value)) {
                    $decodedValue = transcribe($value, false);
            } else {
                    $decodedValue = ($isMagic)?stripslashes($value):$value;
            }
                $gpcList[$decodedKey] = $decodedValue;
        }
        return     $gpcList;
    }
    ?>


    == The following function will strip GPC-arrays for php 5.0.2 ==
    <?php
    function transcribe($aList, $aIsTopLevel = true) {
            $gpcList = array();
            $isMagic = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
       
        foreach (    $aList as $key => $value) {
            if (    is_array($value)) {
                    $decodedKey = ($isMagic && !$aIsTopLevel)?stripslashes($key):$key;
                    $decodedValue = transcribe($value, false);
            } else {
                    $decodedKey = stripslashes($key);
                    $decodedValue = ($isMagic)?stripslashes($value):$value;
            }
                $gpcList[$decodedKey] = $decodedValue;
        }
        return     $gpcList;
    }
    ?>

    Usage:

    <?php
    $unstrippedGET     = transcribe($_GET);
    $unstrippedPOST = transcribe($_POST);
    ?>

    Maybe someone is willing to test those combinations for other php-versions and with magic_quotes_sybase set to 'on' - let me know.
    Sorry for this huge amount of text, but it's complete. I was unable to compress the decision table more than this.

    Please note, that when magic_quotes_gpc is set not only $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST, $_COOKIE arrays values are slashed. Actually every string value in $GLOBALS array is slashed, ie. $GLOBALS['_SERVER']['PATH_INFO'] (or $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']).

    <?php
    function stripper($stringvar){
        if (    1 == get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
                $stringvar = stripslashes($stringvar);
        }
        return     $stringvar;
    }
    ?>

    Usage:

    <?php
    $Body     = stripper($rs->fields('Body'));
    echo(    $Body);
    ?>

    This checks if get_magic_quotes_gpc() is on and strips a string variable for output if its on. Useful if the dev server and live server are set up different.

    1. magic_quotes_gpc=on/off and magic_quotes_sybase=on/off

    I made test and your function worked right.
    These were the <input ... /> names I used:
    name="a"
    name="b.b b\b"
    name="c[c.1]"
    name="c[c 2]"
    name="c[c\3]"
    name="c.c c[c.' 4]"
    name="c ' c[c&quot;4]"
    name="d&quot;[d&quot;1]"

    (I used &quot; because I don't know other way to put " into the name)

    and the user-input value:
    a ' " \ \' \" \\ a

    2. > 17) The chars '.', ' ' are always replaced by '_' when used in keys.

    This is true only for the top-level keys, such as "b.b b\b", "c.c c" and "c ' c" above. The second-level key "[c.' 4]" was not changed to [c_'_4] but was escaped acording to how magic_quites_XXX are set.

    Tested on PHP 4.4.0.

    These magic_quotes are really black magic :(

    It'll be good to make test against $_SESSION, but I can't do it today.

    When you work with forms and databases you should use this concept:

    1.When inserting the user input in DB escape $_POST/$_GET with add_slashes() or similar (to match the speciffic database escape rules)

    $query='INSERT INTO users SET fullname="'.add_slashes($_POST['fullname']).'"';
    insert_into_db($query);

    2.When reading a previously submitted input from DB use html_special_chars to display an escaped result!

    read_db_row('SELECT fullname FROM users');
    echo '<input type="text" name="fullname" value="'.html_special_chars($db_row['fullname']).'" />

    this way you safely store and work with the original(unescaped) data.

    I suggest replacing foreach by "stripslashes_deep":

    Example #2 Using stripslashes() on an array on
    <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php>:

    <?php
    function stripslashes_deep($value)
    {
            $value = is_array($value) ?
                        array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) :
                        stripslashes($value);

        return     $value;
    }
    ?>

    This gives:

    <?php
    if((function_exists("get_magic_quotes_gpc") && get_magic_quotes_gpc())    || (ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase') && (strtolower(ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase'))!="off")) ){
            stripslashes_deep($_GET);
            stripslashes_deep($_POST);
            stripslashes_deep($_COOKIE);
    }
    ?>

    Just a little correction:
    ( Because of the ini_get function that may return a string value of "off" that evaluates to TRUE )
    <?php
                if(  
                (      function_exists("get_magic_quotes_gpc") && get_magic_quotes_gpc()  )
                 || (      ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase') && ( strtolower(ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase')) != "off" )  )
               ){
                foreach(    $_GET as $k => $v) $_GET[$k] = stripslashes($v);
                foreach(    $_POST as $k => $v) $_POST[$k] = stripslashes($v);
                foreach(    $_COOKIE as $k => $v) $_COOKIE[$k] = stripslashes($v);
            }
    ?>

    > "If the directive magic_quotes_sybase is ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc."

    This "note" is a bit misleading. magic_quotes_sybase will only override the escaping method used on Get/Post/Cookie data if magic_quotes_gpc is already enabled. If magic_quotes_gpc is not enabled then magic_quotes_sybase will have no effect here.

    A few of the other comments are therefore incorrect in determining when to "stripslashes" from the input, by "stripping slashes" when either magic_quotes_gpc OR magic_quotes_sybase is enabled. You should only stripslashes() when magic_quotes_gpc is enabled since that is the only time when slashes are automatically added.

    stripslashes() is also magic_quotes_sybase aware, so you don't need to do anything special (ie. write a custom function to handle this situation as another comment suggests) when magic_quotes_sybase is enabled. When magic_quotes_sybase is enabled, stripslashes() does not actually strip any slashes, but instead unescapes single-quotes that are escaped with single-quotes only.

    magic_quotes_sybase does however influence the escaping (and unescaping) method used by addslashes() and stripslashes() respectively, regardless of whether magic_quotes_gpc (or magic_quotes_runtime) is enabled.

    Regarding the three main strip methods as found below (two using foreach, 1 using the json method), I've done a little benchmarking using 'true' profiling (using a registered tickhandler where declare(ticks=1)).
    I wondered whether or not json would not be terribly slow.
    I won't discuss the profiler, but will suffice with the following statement, followed by the used code to benchmark:

    The json method was by FAR the quickest (contrary to what I'd thought), so if you need a speedy process, use that!

    <?php
    declare(ticks=1);
    function     g()
    {
        return array(
                'a'=>'i\\\\\\'m',
            array('    a1' => 'x', 'b1' => 'x'),
            array( '    a2' => array('a3' => '\\\\\\'x', 'b3' => 'random' )
            )
        );
    }

    function     strip_json($d)
    {
            $rs = json_decode(stripslashes(json_encode($d, JSON_HEX_APOS)), true);
        return     $rs;
    }

    function     strip_deep1($d)
    {
        foreach (    $d as $k=>$v)
        {
            if (    is_array($v)) { $d[$k] = strip_deep1($v); }
            else {     $d[$k] = stripslashes($v); }
        }
        return     $d;
    }

    function     strip_deep2(&$d)
    {
            $d = is_array($d) ? array_map('strip_deep2', $d) : stripslashes($d);
        return     $d;
    }

    // now profile it
    require_once './TickProfiler.php';
    $N = 1000;
    $d = g();
    TickProfiler::Register();
    for (    $i = 0; $i < $N; $i++){ strip_json($d); }
    for (    $i = 0; $i < $N; $i++){ strip_deep1($d); }
    for (    $i = 0; $i < $N; $i++){ strip_deep2($d); }
    TickProfiler::Unregister();
    TickProfiler::Display();

    ?>

    My output (PHP 5.3.1, win32):
        [TickProfiler::tick] => Array
            (
                [time] => 0.76188707351685
                [calls] => 46001
            )

        [TickProfiler::Register] => Array
            (
                [time] => 3.0994415283203E-5
                [calls] => 1
            )

        [strip_json] => Array
            (
                [time] => 0.025638580322266
                [calls] => 1000
            )

        [strip_deep1] => Array
            (
                [time] => 0.40303444862366
                [calls] => 36000
            )

        [strip_deep2] => Array
            (
                [time] => 0.14928555488586
                [calls] => 9000
            )

    )

    As can be seen above, using json speeds output by at least a factor of 5 (nearly 6).
    Just wanted to share this :D

    Do note the strip_json function has two LOC instead of a plain return statement, otherwise it wouldn't get picked up by the tickprofiler (it would return from the code immediately, never reaching the profiler)!

    Usage of the return statement in strip_deep2 is not needed, as the argument is passed by reference.
    A new test showed that the time penalty for this is about 0.09 seconds.

    This actually means that the factor between strip_deep2 vs strip_json is only about 2.
    Still, strip_json would be about twice as fast as strip_deep2
