you might have them in a .htaccess file for an old PHP script.
magic_quotes_gpc was a really bad idea in older PHP versions which
automatically quoted strings to allow them to be placed in database
queries (for example). It caused a shit-load of confusion, and was one
of the reasons early PHP was considered to be insecure, so it was dropped.
register_long_arrays is about how POST and GET variables are stored globally in $HTTP_*_VARS - that's since been dropped in favour of $_GET, $_POST, and $_REQUEST.
