Replace get_magic_quotes with what?

Question

I've read that get_magic_quotes will be deprecated in upcoming php versions. I've used Dreamweaver CS3 for a long time but now it seems it is time to learn how to replace the code that will be adversely affected when php6 comes out. No sense waiting.
Can someone tell us which code is affected, where in DW CS3 it is found and what we're going to have to do to replace it? I have a LOT of pages with inserts, GETS POSTS and COOKIES which may be affected and I'm eager to get a start on the change over.
And could you be very specific please.
Thank you.

Hi Gramps
I have an experimental extension available from my web site that enables one to use php::pdo with DW CS4/5+, (sorry Brian does not work with CS3).
The extension was produced to help people to learn to use pdo and does contain a few bugs when one tries to use it for more complex sql statements, but it does work and produce valid code.
I stopped development due to my free time being eaten-up with other projects, and added to that there was little feedback. But as it has been downloaded over 2500 times in the last 3 years, the lack of feedback could be taken as the extension doing what it was designed to do, (I also have another extension that enables one to see stored procedures in the database panel, so if anyone is interested in this extension let me know, it does contain a few bugs though).
The pdo extension and some badly formatted documentation can be downloaded from - http://www.pziecina.com/design/dreamweaver/pdo_extension.php
The badly formatted documentation was cause by me having to quickly add a note that the extension was free, as I found that some unscrupulous people were selling it.
Although the extension is for learning pdo, I do use the code as produced by it on my site.
