Somewhat... till someone comes along and changes your php.ini, or you
transfer your code to another server and forget to enable magic quotes.
At which time everything is open to the sky. More secure to have it
disabled and then accidentally have it enabled and have double quoting
taking place :) IMHO magic quotes are right up there with register
globals in the "nice idea" but "not in practice" features. It's a prime
example of where protecting newbies from themselves makes everything
more painful in the long run.

Cheers,
Rob.
