How to turn off magic quotes on shared hosting?

I’ve been at my wits ends all day trying to disable magic quotes in my WordPress Theme…

I’ve tried both the .htaccess and php.ini (and php5.ini) file methods but the .htaccess gave me a 500 internal sever error (my host is GoDaddy) and the php.ini method just didn’t work. I’ve also tried the php method with dozens of different code I’ve found online, this being one of them:

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) 
{
function remove_slash(&$value)
{
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
array_walk_recursive($_GET, "remove_slash");
array_walk_recursive($_POST, "remove_slash");
array_walk_recursive($_COOKIE, "remove_slash");
array_walk_recursive($_REQUEST, "remove_slash");
}

However, not a single one of them have got rid of those annoying backslashes! If someone on here manages to solve this issue for me I’d really appreciate it.

On my project I use this:

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $process = array(&$_GET, &$_POST, &$_COOKIE, &$_REQUEST);
    while (list($key, $val) = each($process)) {
        foreach ($val as $k => $v) {
            unset($process[$key][$k]);
            if (is_array($v)) {
                $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = $v;
                $process[] = &$process[$key][stripslashes($k)];
            } else {
                $process[$key][stripslashes($k)] = stripslashes($v);
            }
        }
    }
    unset($process);
}

I put it in the runtime and it works.

I also know how to disable it via .htaccess.

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

I am sure these both work.
