it will still cut off with the double quots. if you have a double quote inside of a double quoted value property <? $myvalue = "And he asked, \"what have you done, son\"? "; ?> <input type="text" name="something" value="<?=addslashes($myvalue)?>">
This will still break. it does care if they are escaped.
