<para>
Returns a string with backslashes before characters that are
listed in <parameter>charlist</parameter> parameter. It escapes
<literal>\n</literal>, <literal>\r</literal> etc. in C-like
style, characters with ASCII code lower than 32 and higher than
126 are converted to octal representation.
</para>
<para>
Be careful if you choose to escape characters 0, a, b, f, n, r,
t and v. They will be converted to \0, \a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t
and \v.
In PHP \0 (&null;), \r (carriage return), \n (newline) and \t (tab)
are predefined escape sequences, while in C all of these are
predefined escape sequences.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>charlist</parameter> like "\0..\37", which would
escape all characters with ASCII code between 0 and 31.
<example>
<title><function>addcslashes</function> example</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$escaped = addcslashes($not_escaped, "\0..\37!@\177..\377");
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<para>
When you define a sequence of characters in the charlist argument
make sure that you know what characters come between the
characters that you set as the start and end of the range.
<informalexample>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
echo addcslashes('foo[ ]', 'A..z');
// output: \f\o\o\[ \]
// All upper and lower-case letters will be escaped
// ... but so will the [\]^_` and any tabs, line
// feeds, carriage returns, etc.
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
Also, if the first character in a range has a lower ASCII value
than the second character in the range, no range will be
constructed. Only the start, end and period characters will be
escaped. Use the <function>ord</function> function to find the
ASCII value for a character.
<informalexample>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
echo addcslashes("zoo['.']", 'z..A');
// output: \zoo['\.']
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
