Question

C# equivalent to php mysql_real_escape_string function or similar function?

mysql_real_escape_string() calls MySQL’s library function mysql_real_escape_string, which prepends backslashes to the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ‘, ” and \x1a.

Answer 1

I don’t think there is anything that does that, there are various encoding/escaping methods in the System.Web.HttpUtility class. However if it is just those characters you want to replace you could use string.Replace()

e.g.

string test = " \x00\n";
Console.WriteLine(test.Replace("\x00","\\x00").Replace("\n","\\n"));
