Checks if magic quotes are on, if so undoes their work then uses the mysql_real_escape_string to secure the input. But using the array method whenever possible covers both security and potentially cuts down on spam too. That's what my escapeString function uses.

I typically use the "mysql_real_escape_string" function and there is a similar function for postgres as well. It's definitely very important.

As a side note, I did forget to mention that anyone interested in security should also look at the <a href="http://www.stuffbysarah.net/amazon.php?id=0973862106">Php|architect’s Guide to PHP Security</a>.
