Note Submitter: matthew at exanimo dot com ---- Note that to use quote_smart(), you have to connect to the database via mysql_connect(). Otherwise, mysql_real_escape_string() will have no way of knowing what database you want to use. If you want to use the OO approach or mysqli_connect(), you're going to have to rewrite quote_smart() to accept a MySQL connection, which it would then pass to mysql_real_escape_string(). This is a pretty lackluster solution, though, for anyone concerned with abstraction.
