note 49664 added to function.mysql-escape-string

Here's the solution I came up with for unescaping. I'm not a "real" programmer so there's probably some huge problem with this. I've been using it for a while and it seems to work okay though. function escape_string($string) { $string = nl2br($string); if(version_compare(phpversion(),"4.3.0")=="-1") { $string = mysql_escape_string($string); } else { $string = mysql_real_escape_string($string); } return $string; } function unescape_string($string) { stripslashes($string); $string = str_replace('<br />', Chr(13), $string); return $string; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-escape-string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49664 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49664&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49664&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49664&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49664&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49664&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49664&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
