Hello I have been working for a while with PHP and MySQL. Now I am working in a PHP-Informix and PHP-Oracle environment. I have always used mysql_real_escape_string for the data going into the database. I am presently working on Informix and Oracle database servers, and am unaware of any escape functions for databases which are to be connected through drivers such as OCI8 or odbc.
Could anybody explain a little about the security measures for these databases.
Don’t do sanitization unless you are doing VERY dynamic queries. Parameterized queries are the right way to go.
Here’s the PHP Documentation which describes how to do this.
