A big hole in PHP's mysql support: the lack of mysql_escape_string function. Wondered what
the easiest way of taking any zero-terminated string (i.e. one with single/double quotes,
commas, special chars) and putting it in an SQL statement so it ALWAYS WORKS? Use this
version of mysql_escape_string; based on the formal MySQL escape charater definition found
at www.mysql.com.


<?php
function mysql_escape_string($s)
{
$sl=strlen($s);

for ($a=0;$a<$sl;$a++)
{
$c=substr($s,$a,1);

switch(ord($c))
{
case 0:
$c = "\\0";
break;
case 10:
$c = "\\n";
break;
case 9:
$c = "\\t";
break;
case 13:
$c = "\\r";
break;
case 8:
$c = "\\b";
break;
case 39:
$c = "\\'";
break;
case 34:
$c = "\\\"";
break;
case 92:
$c = "\\\\";
break;
case 37:
$c = "\\%";
break;
case 95:
$c = "\\_";
break;
}
$s2.=$c;
}
return $s2;
}
?>
Example :
========

//put any chars you like in $un and $pw

$sql=sprintf("insert into users (username, password) values(\"%s\",\"%
s\")",mysql_escape_string($un), mysql_escape_string($pw));
