point is, if magic quotes can stop this, so why is it going to be removed
in php6? it can simply stay and be activated or deactivated on will.
This is the reason why it is going to be removed. It creates an ambiguity
for server admins and developers alike since there is no setting you
can rely on. I agree with the author of this text:

And I experienced some configurations where Magic Quotes creates more
harm than potential security weaknesses. It's better to teach your
developers how to handle escape characters.
Best,
