Actually, I think there's a misunderstanding here as to what the
magic_quotes_gpc settting is all about. The "gpc" stands for "Get, Post,
Cookie", i.e. this setting does only apply to the handling of quotes in
case of GET or POST requests as well as Cookies. It does NOT apply for
quotes in SQL requests - that would be magic_quotes_runtime.

So, as Tom said, ignoring the magic_quotes_gpc settting and always using
addslashes() before storing anything in the database would work. This is
also how Geeklog does it (although that could be considered a bug since
it doesn't check for the setting of magic_quotes_runtime).

bye, Dirk
