Can someone explain something to me:
<script language="php">
$string = "Bob's carwash's door";
echo 'addslashes(): ' . addslashes( $string ) . '<br>';
echo 'mysql_escape_string(): ' . mysql_escape_string( $string ) . '<br>';
</script>
Outputs:
addslashes(): Bob''s carwash''s door
mysql_escape_string(): Bob\'s carwash\'s door
According to the documentation
(http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php), addslashes() should
be doing exactly what mysql_escape_string is doing above (namely, add
backslashes in front of each apostrophe). However, it's merely adding an
additional apostrophe. Why?
I'm running 4.3.11 on Windows NT 5.2 build 3790.
thnx,
Chris
