Massive error_log File!

[philip937]

I am getting this php error on every single page load of my website:
[06-Dec-2012 17:48:47 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Directive 'magic_quotes_gpc' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0

I have searched for the term 'magic' in developers tool kit and the only file that would be called on every page load is:

includes/application_top.php

Line #91 : * turn off magic-quotes support, for both runtime and sybase, as both will cause problems if enabled
Line #93 : if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, 5.3, '<') && function_exists('set_magic_quotes_runtime')) set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
Line #94 : if (@ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase') != 0) @ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0);

Can anyone help me on this? only just noticed it and got logs that date back to April 2012 with a error file at 4Gig!

Cheers
Phil

Yes I saw that but there was no further response.

I have also noticed in:
includes/classes/class.phpmailer.php
this:
Line #1107 : $magic_quotes = get_magic_quotes_runtime();
Line #1108 : if (function_exists('set_magic_quotes_runtime')) set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
Line #1112 : if (function_exists('set_magic_quotes_runtime')) @set_magic_quotes_runtime($magic_quotes);
Line #1159 : // Can't use addslashes as we don't know what value has magic_quotes_sybase.

I cant see any other files that could be loading on every page load. I commented out the code on each of these and the errors are still coming!??

Please help!

fixed it, php.ini file was set to have it enabled. set it to Off and errors have stopped.

Logging of errors has stopped....the errors continue uncorrected

[philip937]

What do you mean? The error I believe was because the php.ini was saying to use it and the server version doesn't support it..

What was "it" in this case??
magic_quotes???
If so, then you are correct

[philip937]

This was set in php.ini
magic_quotes_gpc = On
Now set to
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

philip937 is correct. The hosting company's server configuration was outdated.

Was just a shame it took me about an hour on chat to my hosting company and by which time had worked it out myself and told them what the problem was! Grr
