It can be if you write a script in an environment where it is turned on,
then try to run it in another environment where it is turned off. Ideally
you should write code which can detect whether it is ON or OFF and deal with
it as appropriate, such as:
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$lastname = addslashes($_POST['lastname']);
} else {
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
} // if
