 * All of a sudden my site has produced this error on every page
 * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime() in /home/
   > leedsmus/public_html/delayed/wp-settings.php on line 18
 * No idea whats up, very confusing. I was going to backup all my files and upgrade
   to 3.0 today but I dont want to upgrade with this error.
 * Can anyone help?
 * Link 18:
 *     ```
       set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
       @ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0);
       ```

 * Try re-uploading all files &s folders – with the exception of the wp-content 
   folder – from a **fresh** download of WordPress 2.9.2
