DB Active Record - addslashes on data?

[eluser]gscharlemann[/eluser]
I posted the above without doing a thorough review of the addslashes documenation for php. Noticed in the comments that someone provided a function to add slashes to the values in an array. I guess that will work, but it doesn't seem to be the most efficient, especially with a large 1500+ item array.
