What are database escape() and quote() used for?
joomla
Solution
Thes escape function is used to escape bad characters in order to protect against SQL injection.
The quote* functions are used to quote strings, because different database dialects have different quoting characters.
So depending on the database system you use, Joomla will choose the appropriate quoting characters.
Problem
I looked at some joomla components and there are functions like ``` $db->escape() $db->quote() ``` What are they used for ? Thanks
