It shouldn't. It will affect any " or ' coming out. For example, for going in to db:
$mystring = "Hi there Mr O'Neil."; $mystring = addslashes($mystring); echo $mystring; would result in "Hi there Mr O\'Neil." When coming out of db make sure you use the stripslashes function to return the original value that was created upon entry $mystring = stripslashes($mystring); would result back to "Hi there Mr O'Neil."
