Description
string
mysql_real_escape_string ( string unescaped_string [, resource link_identifier])
This function will escape special characters in the unescaped_string, taking into account the current charset of the connection so that it is safe to place it in a mysql_query().
Note: mysql_real_escape_string() does not escape % and _.
Example 1. mysql_real_escape_string() example <?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$item = "Zak's and Derick's Laptop";
$escaped_item = mysql_real_escape_string($item, $link);
printf("Escaped string: %s\n", $escaped_item);
?> |
The above example would produce the following output: Escaped string: Zak\'s and Derick\'s Laptop |
