Yep, or use a library that emulates placeholders, despite MySQL (production
versions, anyway) not supporting them natively - ADOdb is my favourite. The
correct escaping is then done consistently by the library, saving you from
introducing a problem by the one time you forget to use mysql_escape_string().
