You should probably use mysql_escape_string or mysql_real_escape_string 
instead of addslashes and stripslashes. IMHO addslashes and stripslashes

are pretty much useless.

That is an interesting take, why so?

Because it can easily cause more problems than it fixes. Actually, it's 
also a part of my dislike for the magic_quotes system...

At the very least, mysql_(real_)escape_string should be always used for 
mysql code instead of addslashes as it *will* do the right thing.
