I was using addslashes for my mysql queries on inputing new text
but apperantly addslashes caused me some strange chars appearing in the input… as i removed the addslashes, everything went fine again…
how come addslashes turn an apostrophe in ’ ?
addslashes is to sql injection prevention as a piece of wet toilet paper is to your PhD thesis – utterly useless.
Get a scalpel and surgically remove the knowledge of addslashes()’s existence from your brain, and use
mysql_real_escape_string()instead.it is precisely the fact that addslashes is NOT unicode aware that makes it completely and utterly useless these days.
