But this may cost so much on the CPU and RAM side if your will be escaped data is enough long to exhaust other processes. (For example, it's not so feasible to unescape a media file while inserting.) At the moment, current stable releases of PHP doesn't support parameter usage, but it was committed to CVS in revision 1.315. If you'll need these kind of escape functions so much, I'd encourage you to patch your php/ext/pgsql/pgsql.c with the one in CVS tree. After patch, you'll be able to use pg_query_params, pg_prepare, pg_execute, pg_send_query_params and pg_send_prepare; namely, every possible parameter supported function. Regards.
