Description:
------------
PHP's magic quotes function has the strange behavior of not adding slashes to top level keys in GPC key/value pairs but adding the slashes in deeper level keys. To demonstrate, a URI of:

example.php?a'b[c'd]=e'f
produces:
array("a'b" => array("c\'d" => "e\'f"))

The current example for removing magic quotes does not do anything to keys, so after running stripslashes_deep, you would end up with:
array("a'b" => array("c\'d" => "e'f"))

Which, needless to say, is wrong. As if you had magic quotes off, it would have been:
array("a'b" => array("c'd" => "e'f"))

I have written a snippet of code compatible with PHP 4.0.0 and above that handles this correctly:

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
	function undoMagicQuotes($array, $topLevel=true) {
		$newArray = array();
		foreach($array as $key => $value) {
			if (!$topLevel) {
				$key = stripslashes($key);
			}
			if (is_array($value)) {
				$newArray[$key] = undoMagicQuotes($value, false);
			}
			else {
				$newArray[$key] = stripslashes($value);
			}
		}
		return $newArray;
	}
	$_GET = undoMagicQuotes($_GET);
	$_POST = undoMagicQuotes($_POST);
	$_COOKIE = undoMagicQuotes($_COOKIE);
	$_REQUEST = undoMagicQuotes($_REQUEST);
}

Perhaps you should replace the example in the manual with my code snippet. Oh and I have left a comment there too for users who visit the page before you guys fix it. So someone could delete that once it's fixed.
