You should try to avoid magic_quotes in all its flavors, use add_slashes() and strip_slashes() instead with user input and you will save time and avoid common problems that come along.
You should know also that if your server has php suexec enabled you won't be able use php_flag in .htaccess file to change php values like magic_quotes or register_globals. In this case you might wanna try creating a php.ini file on the same directory as your script and add something like this:
magic_quotes_runtime=off
magic_quotes_gpc=off
magic_quotes_sybase=off
register_globals=on ; only as an example

Warning
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 6.0.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Magic Quotes is a process that automagically escapes incoming data to the PHP script. It's preferred to code with magic quotes off and to instead escape the data at runtime, as needed.
