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.
