mysql_escape_string
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3)
mysql_escape_string -- Escapes a string for use in a mysql_query.
Description
string mysql_escape_string ( string unescaped_string)
This function will escape the unescaped_string, so that
it is safe to place it in a mysql_query().
Note: mysql_escape_string() does not escape % and _.
This function is identical to mysql_real_escape_string()
except that mysql_real_escape_string() takes a connection
handler and escapes the string according to the current
character set. mysql_escape_string() does not take a connection
argument and does not respect the current charset setting.
Example 1. mysql_escape_string() example
<?php
$item = "Zak's Laptop";
$escaped_item = mysql_escape_string($item);
printf("Escaped string: %s\n", $escaped_item);
?>
The above example would produce the following output:
Escaped string: Zak\'s Laptop
