Stripslashes redundancy question.

["Gary" <gpaul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my form processing scripts, I usually have the variable set as so:

$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);

I have discovered that the program that I use has a pre-written function of 
this:

// remove escape characters from POST array
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
  function stripslashes_deep($value) {
    $value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : 
stripslashes($value);
    return $value;
    }
  $_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);
  }

I just put this in a script that I have been using, leaving the original 
stripslashes in the variable. The script still works, but is there a problem 
with redundancy, or does one cancel the other out?

Also, which do you think is a better method to use?

Thank you

Gary
