Name
mysql_real_escape_string( )
Synopsis
mysql_real_escape_string(string[,link])
This
returns the string given with special characters preceded by
backslashes so that they are protected from being interpreted by the
SQL interpreter. Use this in conjunction with the
mysql_query( ) function to make SQL statements
safe. This function does not escape % or _
characters, but does take into account the character set of the
connection. A different connection may be specified as the second
argument to the function. This function is similar to
mysql_escape_string( ), but it escapes a string
based on the character set for the current connection.
