title: Is it still useful to use addslashes() when the mysql db is utf8?
body: <p>I was using <code>addslashes</code> for my mysql queries on inputing new text
  but apperantly addslashes caused me some strange chars appearing in the input... as i removed the <code>addslashes</code>, everything went fine again...</p>
  
  <p>how come <code>addslashes</code> turn an apostrophe in â€™ ?</p>
