Auto-escaping text

adamlucansky · 11-14-2009, 01:51 PM

Hello guys, this time, another problem.

Text

Code:

'LDAP_Object_Classes' => array("top", "inetOrgPerson"),

... If I enter this text into variable, its fine, but when variable is used, for example entering into /usr/bin/mysql ... -c "INSERT ... $text", it makes troubles, is there any kind of echo which automatically escape all characters ?

Something like mysql_real_escape_string in php

A more appropriate choice of topic title would have been helpful. Anyway, unfortunately there is no LDAP escape function in PHP, you'll have to write your own.

No No , that was just example text, i mean, something like mysql_real_escape_string which escape all quote characters.

Example:

Code:

/usr/bin/somecommand 'LDAP_Object_Classes' => array("top", "inetOrgPerson"),
\'LDAP_Object_Classes\' => array(\"top\", \"inetOrgPerson\"),

I mean, like command echo in bash, not PHP, that was like example. Same like /bin/echo , but it return same text but escaped
