No, As long as it is just a warning it still works correctly, The
message simply points out that magic quotes was a terrible idea and they
are finally going to remove it from the language. You should never have
to use it.
You will probably have to selectively add breadcrumbs to isolate which
file or files are causing your problem. Even if you put them in every
fourth file, you at least get some idea where to start digging.
