What are the potential pitfalls of using addcslashes function for preventing SQL Injections?

Using the `addcslashes` function alone is not sufficient to prevent SQL Injections as it only escapes certain characters. It is recommended to use prepared statements with parameterized queries to ensure complete protection against SQL Injections. 

// Using prepared statements with parameterized queries to prevent SQL Injections
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydatabase', 'username', 'password');
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = :username AND password = :password");
$stmt->bindParam(':username', $username);
$stmt->bindParam(':password', $password);
$stmt->execute();
