The PHP function addslashes() is used to escape special characters from a string. The function automatically adds a backslash before each of the following characters:
- single quote ( ' )
- double quote ( " )
- backslash ( \ )
- the NUL character
For example:
$string = 'He says "John".';
$string = addslashes ($string);
// Displays: He says \"John\".
echo $string;
