When working with servers where you don't have control over php.ini, it is a pain in the ass that magic_qoutes_gpc can't be changed. 
Therefore I want to make a suggestion about a new function that resets all variables which are gotten form GPC. This function should reparse the query string with the new behaviour properties you can customize.

for example:
function reparse_query(bool $Gquotes, bool $Pquotes, bool $Cquotes, bool $sybase).

(I'm sorry if I make this sound rude, but my english is not as good as I want it to be...)
