mysql_escape_string — Escapes a string for use in a mysql_query

Warning

This function was deprecated in PHP 4.3.0, and it and the entire original MySQL extension was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, use either the actively developed MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extensions. See also the MySQL: choosing an API guide and its related FAQ entry for additional information. Alternatives to this function include:

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(). This function is deprecated.

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.

Parameters

unescaped_string

The string that is to be escaped.

Return Values

Returns the escaped string.

Changelog

Version Description
5.3.0 This function now throws an E_DEPRECATED notice.
