Question about a piece of code regarding advanced poll 2.0.8

Hi guys!

I'm currently using advanced poll 2.0.8 and is working great! I have a question regarding a piece of code that I found in my .htaccess for my site.

This is the code:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag register_globals off
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag register_globals off
</IfModule>

I want to remove this code if i'm not really using it, I always like to keep my files and code clean, can somebody please tell me if this piece of code is related with advanced poll 2.0.8? I'm guessing is related to advanced poll 2.0.8 because in the comment I put something about a "poll" but I'm not sure which poll script was this piece of code for.

Advanced Poll will not have altered your htaccess file. Basically it looks like your hosts have disabled magic quotes and register globals via your htaccess file as opposed to directly from php.ini. God knows why they have done it that way though.
