What is the common issue with backslashes in PHP when saving text?

The common issue with backslashes in PHP when saving text is that they are used as escape characters, causing unintended behavior when saving or displaying text. To solve this issue, you can use the PHP function `addslashes()` to escape the backslashes before saving the text to a database or displaying it on a webpage. 

$text = "This is a text with backslashes: \example";
$escaped_text = addslashes($text);

// Save $escaped_text to database or display it on a webpage
