NAME

       DB::escape - Escape a string to be used as part of a query

SYNOPSIS

       String escape( String val )

ARGUMENTS

       val The String to escape

DESCRIPTION

       Escapes  backslashes,  apostrophes  and quotes in a string to protect against SQL injection attacks. This
       function should be used only as a  last  resort  -  prepared  statements  using  DB.prepare  (3kaya)  and
       DB.execPrepared (3kaya) are supported by all database libraries, and are far less prone to human error.
