pg_escape_identifier — Escape a identifier for insertion into a text field
pg_escape_identifier() escapes a identifier (e.g. table, field names) for querying the database. It returns an escaped identifier string for PostgreSQL server. pg_escape_identifier() adds double quotes before and after data. Users should not add double quotes. Use of this function is recommended for identifier parameters in query. For SQL literals (i.e. parameters except bytea), pg_escape_literal() or pg_escape_string() must be used. For bytea type fields, pg_escape_bytea() must be used instead.
Note:
This function has internal escape code and can also be used with PostgreSQL 8.4 or less.
connection
An PgSql\Connection instance.
When connection
is unspecified, the default connection is used.
The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect()
or pg_pconnect().
As of PHP 8.1.0, using the default connection is deprecated.
data
A string containing text to be escaped.
A string containing the escaped data.
Version | Description |
---|---|
8.1.0 |
The connection parameter expects an PgSql\Connection
instance now; previously, a resource was expected.
