Pierre, I don't remember what was decided on this, but could you clarify this report whether its intended to use PHP_DEP_FE or not on these

The code is in place, better to have the usual doc people to work on that, I won't 
have the time to do it any time soon.

Why don't the NEWS/UPGRADING files mention the deprecation of these 
get_magic_quotes_* functions?
 [2011-10-27 11:27 UTC] a at b dot c dot de 
NEWS_5_4_0_beta1.txt mentions that get_magic_quotes_{gpc|runtime}() always return false, but not that they're deprecated.

I have the same problem
 [2011-11-12 12:12 UTC] david dot zuelke at bitextender dot com 
According to several mailing list threads I've searched, it should not give a 
deprecation warning. So it's not a documentation problem but a bug. The attached 
patch fixes the problem (uses PHP_FE instead of PHP_DEP_FE for 
get_magic_quotes_gpc() and get_magic_quotes_runtime()) and adds and updates tests 
accordingly.

Just my 2 cents: 
I think that raising an E_DEPRECATED now is better, if we want to remove the get 
methods with the major/minor version after 5.4.

Throwing any kind of warnings for the getters is a cruel punishment targetting 
the people who were actually dealing with the problem we gave them in the first 
place.

Hi David,

please do it, I do not have the time to do it before RC2.

Cheers,

A warning definitely is a bad idea, it makes it impossible to write portable code 
to detect magic quotes without version check stunts. It's fine if the two 
functions simply return false forever, there's not even a need to remove them as 
they don't do any harm whatsoever.
 [2011-11-15 13:09 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
Let me clarify this pointer. Getter should not raise any warning. Setters do.

My opinion that transcends that disable line 7 as follows, where I have is version 5.4  (put comment symble) and save then press (live view ) if using dreamwaver or run it on internet explorer
 /* if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
  }*/
