What is the Diffrencce between mysql_escape_string and mysql_real_escape_string?
the *_real_* one takes into account charset of the current connection, as mentioned in the manual

See magic_quotes to have it done for you. Although this isn't a recommend approach if you plan to distribute your application, in which case mysql_escape_string() is the one.
Just a comment :
Note: This function (mysql_escape_string) has been deprecated since PHP 4.3.0. Do not use this function. Use mysql_real_escape_string() instead.
So, if you're coding new scripts is better to use mysql_real_escape_string().
Best regards, Jordi.
