Ah, ic. Mh, why wouldn't a function like that function without a db
connection? Does it use the db? Isn't that less efficient? I might just use
str_replace, because i can't think of any way that one could get a sql
injection into
str_replace("'", "\\\'", $value); // might need to replace a literal \ too.
If you can, please enlighten me.
Maybe if they enter something like \c ?? Like one of the mysql special
commands? But if it's inside a string literal??
Thanks a lot, i would have never thought about that.
Will try.
