PG_ESCAPE_LITERAL

[dbchristopher]

Hi everyone, I have a question about best practice for cleaning data in PHP for a postgresql insertion.

 

I was going to use pg_escape_string, but on that page it recommended using pg_escape_literal for insertions instead: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-escape-literal.php

 

However, pg_escape_literal doesn't seem to be a part of my PHP installation. It says on the page "(No version information available, might only be in SVN)." How would I go about installing that in PHP? Is it even necessary, or would pg_escape_string be sufficient?

 

I had been using addslashes() for quite some time, I must have missed the memo when that practice was deprecated :-|

 

Thanks!
