 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to make quick-post working with wp 2.9.1, and it works, but there 
   is an error message when I click on the bookmarklet :
 * Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/
   gR-test/wp-settings.php on line 18
 * It seems to be a [php deprecated function](http://us2.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.magic-quotes-runtime),
   so I’ll try to replace (delete?) it. I’ll report here my experimentation, if 
   one of you have already found a solution, please share it !
 * Thank you

 * Well,It happens when Server upgrades with PHP 5.3
    Problem is solved by adding
   this function and including a brace in the 18th line !!
 * **if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, ‘5.3.0’, ‘<‘))
    { set_magic_quotes_runtime(
   0); //18th line }

 * This is a WordPress bug* and it persists in 3.0.1.

 * *I’m presuming that there is some quality standard that prohibits the use of 
   deprecated PHP syntax.

 * Anyone know how to take the “quick press widget plug in” and make it available
   to anyone to use that visits the site? So people can make anonymous posts
