Description:
------------
When I tried to use addslashes() function before store data into the database for the following string and the string was encoded as Shift_JIS that was broken.

紹介予定派遣

Except that string there are some other characters also show mojibake too.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

addslashes only deals with bytes, and has no notion about character sets. Therefore it doesn't know it deals with Shift_JIS and can not escape those with addslashes properly. This is something that will be addressed in PHP 6.
