Magic Quote Snippet? Needed in PHP 5.4?

[terryds]

I found a PHP snippet that will reverse the magic quotesThis is the snippet

<?phpif (get_magic_quotes_gpc()){  $process = array(&$_GET, &$_POST, &$_COOKIE, &$_REQUEST);  while (list($key, $val) = each($process))  {    foreach ($val as $k => $v)    {      unset($process[$key][$k]);      if (is_array($v))      {        $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = $v;        $process[] = &$process[$key][stripslashes($k)];      }      else      {        $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = stripslashes($v);      }    }  }  unset($process);}

And, i heard that magic quote is removed as of PHP 5.4. Is it still needed to put if i use PHP 5.4 ?

If you look up the function in the manual, you will read this:

Always returns FALSE because the magic quotes feature was removed from PHP.

So, if the function always returns false, that code will never be executed.
