Why turning magic_quotes_gpc on in PHP is considered a bad practice?

when i get information from a post form, the html form adds slashes before random characters. for example: hello “george” becomes hello \”george\”.

I dont understand at all why this happens, I tried already forbidding slashes in the input tag from javascript but does not work so I need some php or javascript function to remove this from the server. The function must work in html too because i am using these three technologies because i am developing and selling web 2.0 sites.

what is the php function for this and its version for html too?
thanks in advance.

Here I link you to my pages with this problem, maybe you can check why this happens.
