You never know how it is configured on the server side (unless it is
typo3.org or typo3.com :)).

addslashes does not escape *all* required characters.
mysql_real_escape_string takes into account all characters that should
be escaped.
mysql_real_escape_string *is* the correct way to escape parameters for
mysql.

There is no need to raise PHP version requirements: use
mysql_real_escape_string if it is available and mysql_escape_string if
it is not.
