  <para>
   Returns a string with backslashes before characters that need
   to be quoted in database queries etc.  These characters are
   single quote (<literal>'</literal>), double quote
   (<literal>"</literal>), backslash (<literal>\</literal>)
   and NUL (the &null; byte).
  </para>
  <para>
   An example use of <function>addslashes</function> is when you're
   entering data into a database.  For example, to insert the name
   <literal>O'reilly</literal> into a database, you will need to escape
   it.  Most databases do this with a <literal>\</literal> which would
   mean <literal>O\'reilly</literal>.  This would only be to get the data
   into the database, the extra <literal>\</literal> will not be inserted.
   Having the PHP directive <link linkend="ini.magic-quotes-sybase">
   magic_quotes_sybase</link> set to <literal>on</literal> will mean
   <literal>'</literal> is instead escaped with another
   <literal>'</literal>.
  </para>
  <para>
   The PHP directive <link linkend="ini.magic-quotes-gpc">
   magic_quotes_gpc</link> is <literal>on</literal> by default, and it
   essentially runs <function>addslashes</function> on all GET, POST,
   and COOKIE data.  Do not use <function>addslashes</function> on
   strings that have already been escaped with
   <link linkend="ini.magic-quotes-gpc">magic_quotes_gpc</link> as you'll
   then do double escaping.  The function
   <function>get_magic_quotes_gpc</function> may come in handy for
   checking this.
