Answer 1

The addslashes() function returns a string with backslashes in front of predefined characters.

The predefined characters are:

single quote (‘)
double quote (“)
backslash ()
NULL

In this example we will add backslashes to the predefined characters in a string:

<?php
$str = "Who's Kai Jim?";
echo $str . " This is not safe in a database query.<br />";
echo addslashes($str) . " This is safe in a database query.";
?>

The output of the code above will be:

Who’s Kai Jim? This is not safe in a database query.
Who\’s Kai Jim? This is safe in a database query.
