from the docs... it appears the the mysql_real_escape_string function (from
php) is used to backslash a set of chars in the string for insertion into
the mysql db...

however, given that the '/' is mysql, vs ansi, i was wondering if there's a
way to force it to use the ansi standard "'" instead of the "/".

this is in a php app, and i'd like to be as standard as possible in the
event i need to change dbs..

Assuming you're using a database abstraction layer if you're worried about needing to change DBs, it should handle the different quoting formats between DBs.

i.e. when you are using MySQL the layer should use mysql_real_escape_string; if you are using another DB it should use that DB's function.

This was answered for you on the PHP list.
