Are you sure your observation is correct? get_magic_quotes_gpc()
returns the variable that controls whether slashes are added or not. If
it returns true, then magic_quotes_gpc is on. If it returns false, then
it's off--unless you alter the state through ini_set() afterward, of
course.

>From the source code:

PHP_FUNCTION(get_magic_quotes_gpc)
{
RETURN_LONG(PG(magic_quotes_gpc));
}

if (PG(magic_quotes_gpc)) {
Z_STRVAL(new_entry) = php_addslashes(strval, Z_STRLEN(new_entry),
&Z_STRLEN(new_entry), 0 TSRMLS_CC);
} else {
Z_STRVAL(new_entry) = estrndup(strval, Z_STRLEN(new_entry));
}
