I think I read recently that magic quotes will go away in PHP ver 6.

If you are building a system for the future you might want to turn off magic
quotes and use addslashes and stripslashes to secure your POST and GET
variables.

You might want to read up on php security. It is generally a good idea to
check your GETs and POSTs to make sure they are clean of "injection" issues.

Here is a pretty good article:
