Please find a patch for mysql_escape_string attached, I'd like to commit sopeople know which charactersare actually getting escaped, it took me a long time to figgure it out :)Awesome idea. "a backslash before before characters"...I'd move the depreciation note into the 'notes' section while you are at it.
I didn't know ^Z was "substitute" I thought it was EOF.. ?Also, you have extraneous spaces at the ends of your lines. Not a big deal, but they should be removed before commit.
