Re: bug in addslashes command?

there is definatelly a bug in 4.2.1 since this sentence: Argostoli is the 'capitol' of Kefalonia / Kefallinia. One of the Greek Ionian islands. will be escaped by - instead of \ other examples run fine. Does anybody know if there are any serious changes between the new php version and 4.2.1 Can I upgrade without feering loosing functionality?
