#25925 [Opn->Bgs]: addslashes ignoring special slash types

ID: 25925 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: gameRevolt at assimsoft dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 4CVS-2003-10-20 (stable) New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You should be using mysql_escape_string() and not addslashes().

POST/GET strings involving these will not be escaped properly and thus queries involving those strings will fail. See around line 2485 of ext/standard/string.c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25925&edit=1
