Re: mysql_real_escape_string wants a string or a "resource"?

For the longest time, we were having a problem in the docs where some mirrors were erroneously redirecting references to mysqli_real_escape_string() to mysql_real_escape_string(). Should all be fixed now (and certainly is on the US2 mirror).

In my case, I had somehow got the idea that the docs were the same for both functions. I.e. I knew I was looking at mysqli_real_escape_string but thought the syntax was the same as for mysql_real_escape_string
