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 |
