     Fix #55371: get_magic_quotes_gpc() throws deprecation warning
 
-    After removing magic quotes, the get_magic_quotes_gpc function caused a
-    deprecated warning. get_magic_quotes_gpc can be used to detect the
-    magic_quotes behavior and therefore should not raise a warning at any time.
-    The patch removes this warning.
