// Example 1: Basic usage of wp_slash to add slashes to a string
$unslashed_string = "This is a test string";
$slashed_string = wp_slash($unslashed_string);
echo $slashed_string; // Output: This is a test string with slashes added

// Example 2: Using wp_slash to prevent SQL injection in a WordPress query
$user_input = "John's blog";
$escaped_input = wp_slash($user_input);
$query = "SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title = '$escaped_input'";
// Execute the query safely without worrying about SQL injection

// Example 3: Avoiding double escaping by checking if data is already slashed before using wp_slash
$unslashed_data = "This is a test data";
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $data_to_use = wp_unslash($unslashed_data);
} else {
    $data_to_use = wp_slash($unslashed_data);
}
// Use $data_to_use in your WordPress application without double escaping issues
