On a real web host, they'll let you have a .htaccess file where you can disable them like so:
php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 (I keep saying "real web host" because I've just recently had to deal with a few web hosts that a client insisted on that didn't have a standard configuration and didn't support .htaccess files. I lost 6 hours of my life right before Christmas trying to work around that fact, and I can't get them back. If you find yourself in the same situation, vote with your feet and let such hosts die a horrible and bankrupt death.)
