There is also the sybase version of magic quotes which would require a
different kind of treatment. And if the data is an array you have to do
the keys as well, but only on the first level for a multidimensional
array if I remember right and -- well, all this is definitely way too
much trouble.

I prefer using the filter functions (http://de3.php.net/filter). They
allow to access the raw input data and thus to completely bypass any
magic quoting (as well as any modifications of the $_GET etc. arrays
done by the script):

/**
* Read a GPC value.
*
* @param string Name
* @return string|array|null Value or null
*/
function input( $name )
{
$name = str_replace( '.', '_', $name );
foreach ( array( INPUT_GET, INPUT_POST, INPUT_COOKIE ) as $source ):
$value = filter_input( $source, $name, FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW );
if ( $value === false ):
$value = filter_input( $source, $name,
FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW, FILTER_REQUIRE_ARRAY );
endif;
if ( $value !== null and $value !== false ):
return $value;
endif;
endforeach;
}

The above function can be modified to accept an explicit $source as
second argument and do away with the foreach. The first line addresses
the fact that PHP silently converts any dot in a variable name to an
underscore. My function allows using the "dotted" name. Once the value
is retrieved, it must, of course, be properly validated. Although the
filter functions provide such functionality, I prefer to do my own
validation.

Greetings,
Thomas
