I suppose it doesn't say that directly but it does explain what
characters need to be quoted with the '\'.
<quote http://php.net/addslashes>
Returns a string with backslashes before characters that need to be
quoted in database queries etc. These characters are single quote
('), double quote ("), backslash (\) and NUL (the NULL byte).

When to use stripslashes() and addslashes() depends on the
php.ini setting 'magic_quotes_gpc', as noted in both of the
functions documentation.

I was letting you know that in future posts, questions regarding
proper use of functions or finding bugs should be posted to the
php-general list.
