addslashes

http://www.php.net/addslashes

PHP::Strings::addslashes WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED.

Returns a string with backslashes before characters that need to be 
quoted in SQL queries. You should never need this function. I mean, never.
"

starting with php 4 (or 4.0.something) one should never use it in php 
either. At least for mysql there's mysql_escape_string()


"
hebrev

http://www.php.net/hebrev

PHP::Strings::hebrev WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED.

Use the Encode module to convert between character encodings.
"
hebrev() is not about encoding, it's about implicit->visual conversion.
