Have you connected to your MySQL database yet?
From the manual:
-----------------------------
Escapes special characters in the unescaped_string, taking into account
the current character set of the connection so that it is safe to place
it in a mysql_query(). If binary data is to be inserted, this function
must be used.
-----------------------------
Note: A MySQL connection is required before using
mysql_real_escape_string() otherwise an error of level E_WARNING is
generated, and FALSE is returned. If link_identifier isn't defined, the
last MySQL connection is used.
