That function was removed from PHP in PHP 8.0. Did your host upgrade PHP from an earlier version to PHP 8?

Your host means the cPanel they provide to you, not the Control Panel of Joomla 3.x. The cPanel or a similar page has usually an option to select the version of PHP and the extensions associated with that version.
Downgrade PHP to version 7.4 and update Joomla 3 to the latest 3.x version, Joomla 3.10.11.
Ref.
PHP: get_magic_quotes_gpc

Hi Toivo,
Yes it does look like my host upgraded to 8...
and I do not have the option to downgrade it back to 7.4

It is best to ask your host first. The other option is to install a bundle like Wampserver on your workstation with PHP 7.4, restore a full backup to a localhost site in the workstation, make sure all third party extensions are uptodate, then update the localhost site to Joomla 3.10.11, create a full backup and restore that to the remote server.

At the top of your .htaccess add
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php74 .php

Hi Guys... All the best for 2023!!!
I have moved all my files & DB to "localhost" using Mamp with a PHP version 7.4.21...
Now I am getting this error "404 Article not found"
I also tried to get into the Administrator - also got an error...
"Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server."
I did export and import the DB, not sure what I am doing wrong...
Please advise
