note 64478 added to function.addslashes

Question: is there any difference in functionality between addslashes and mysql_real_escape_string? The latter function just seems to be a mouthful. I'd stick with addslashes because it's shorter, unless someone tells me I'm committing a grave error. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 129.116.21.46 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/64478 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64478/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64478/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64478/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64478/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64478/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64478/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64478 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/64478 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
