Escape user input

Hello,

 

What is the proper way to escape user input before using it as a part of a query?

I've  always used mysql real escape with mysql.  But don't see anything like that for mssql.

 

The following is what plan on using. Is it sufficient?

 

$input = str_replace("'", "''", $input);
mssql_query (sprintf ("UPDATE Login SET user = '%s'", $input));

 

Any input would be helpful.

That's what I've done and it seems to work

. I did a fair amount of research, and read a couple of times that this was the preferred method.
