Thanks for your reply.

But, what then is the role of mysql_real_query? In document, it says "You must use mqsql_real_query for queries that contain binary data"?

That doesn't mean the data values don't need to be properly escaped. What if you put a binary value containing a quote within quotes? Result: malformed query.

mysql_real_query() uses a string and a length to indicate how long the
string is.  It won't be fooled by the presence of an ASCII 0 value within
the string.

mysql_query() uses a null-terminated string.  It *will* be fooled by the
presence of an ASCII 0 value within the string.  Specifically, it will
think the string ends at that 0, rather than where you want it to end.
