note 56920 deleted from function.mysql-real-escape-string by aidan

Note Submitter: pmioni at hce dot it ---- If anyone is using addslashes to escape strings before putting them in the database and thinks they should "upgrade" to mysql_real_escape_string because it is safer (as the instructions above seem to imply): if you read mysql's manual for the function that is being called by php, it says --QUOTE Strictly speaking, MySQL requires only that backslash and the quote character used to quote the string in the query be escaped. This function quotes the other characters to make them easier to read in log files. ENDQOUTE-- So if you're using addslashes, which escapes single and double quote and backslashes, you're OK.
