Escaping strings is a concept only useful when building request strings
that include user supplied data. It does avoid concatenating strings
whith special/control characters that may interfere with the original
language. There is no need to escape strings if you do not embed
them inside your request string (eg. if you use bound parameters).

This is true when dealing with SQL (write prepared statements without
including any user supplied data, then bind the parameters), bash
commands that only require one exec (use exec* instead of system), and
pretty much in any case you construct interpreted code at runtime.

Data sent to MySQL as bound parameters in prepared statements is
shipped as is, it not escaped or processed in any way before the
MySQL API structures are filled with it. Now, for your binary data
to be handled as is by the MySQL server (and skip the charset
processing), the parameter must be bound as MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB, which
you may control when using bind_param.

See http://fr2.php.net/manual/fr/mysqli-stmt.bind-param.php and the
"b" (as in binary) flag for details.
