Comment:

 Thank you.
 In the PHPMailer patch `PHP_VERSION_ID < 70400` is supposed to prevent the
 `get_magic_quotes_runtime()` function from being called (so avoid the the
 deprecation notice), and still keep the `$magic_quotes` variable `false`.
 The idea was to not remove the `$magic_quotes` variable and two de-slash
 if blocks below it.

 PHPMailer `5.2-stable` branch doesn't show a lot of activity, so I tried
 to keep the PR as minimal as possible. This branch also supports PHP >=
 5.0.0
 (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/5.2-stable/composer.json#L24).
 Only 6.x versions require PHP 5.5 minimum, and magic_quotes functionality
 is gone in those versions.
