I've just decided to update some code so updated myself with the docs
for mySQL entry cleaning and frankly I am totally confused.

Can someone point to a very clear and unambigous instruction
as to how to safely enter data into a mysql database?
Because I doubt thats even possible with PHP.

We have to contend with stripslashes, magic_quotes, magic_quotes_sybase
mysql_escape_string, mysql_real_escape_string and more...

and now they say mysql_real_escape_string is deprecated in favour
of a mysqli requirement. And dont get mne started on idiotic OOP with
PHP.

Is there a full time team of monkeys sitting at keyboards
ensuring sql entry will never be secure?

As for mysqli and its unnecessarily obtuse syntax... well I'll be
looking for alternatives.

PHP is a set of script language bodges pretending to be a programming
language - its time it was cleaned up or people moved on or
data security can never happen.

Its become a dangerous joke.
