If you are migrating legacy source code to the enviorment with PHP version 5.4 above, but including lots of vulnerable DB query codes depending on Magic Quotes `magic_quotes_gpc` SQL protection. Just use this to run smoothly on new version PHP like old time.

As PHP's Warning for [Magic Quotes](http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php):

> Magic Quotes feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.

DEMONSTRATION
-------------

[](#demonstration)

```
print_r($_GET);
MagicQuotesGpc::init();
print_r($_GET);
```

After visiting URL with query `?username=1' OR '1'='1`, and the output will be:

```
Array ( [username] => 1' OR '1'='1 )
Array ( [username] => 1\' OR \'1\'=\'1 )

```

### Recursive Input Data Concern

[](#recursive-input-data-concern)

The recursive data input from `$_POST`, `$_COOKIE` even `$_GET` will be handled also:

```
$_POST['users'][0] = ['username'=>"1' OR '1'='1"];
print_r($_POST);
MagicQuotesGpc::init();
print_r($_POST);
```

After simulating `$_POST` data assignment, the output will be:

```
Array ( [users] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [username] => 1' OR '1'='1 ) ) )
Array ( [users] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [username] => 1\' OR \'1\'=\'1 ) ) )

```

INSTALLATION
------------

[](#installation)

### Install via Composer

[](#install-via-composer)

Then initialize it at the bootstrap of application such as `config` file:

```
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
MagicQuotesGpc::init();
```

[](#install-directly-by-loading-class)
