Areric,

It's a MySQL function to format strings to be able to place them into a MySQL
database. If you're running a fairly recent release of MySQL (I don't remember
exactly when it became available), mysql_real_escape_string() is preferable
because it takes into account the current character set being used by MySQL.

When working with a database, it's almost always better to use database
functions such as this vs. generic PHP functions.
