sqlite_escape_string — Escapes a string for use as a query parameter
$item
)
sqlite_escape_string() will correctly quote the string
specified by item
for use in an SQLite SQL statement. This includes doubling up
single-quote characters (') and checking for
binary-unsafe characters in the query string.
Although the encoding makes it safe to insert the data, it will render simple text comparisons and LIKE clauses in your queries unusable for the columns that contain the binary data. In practice, this shouldn't be a problem, as your schema should be such that you don't use such things on binary columns (in fact, it might be better to store binary data using other means, such as in files).
item
The string being quoted.
If the item contains a NUL
character, or if it begins with a character whose ordinal value is
0x01, PHP will apply a binary encoding scheme so that
you can safely store and retrieve binary data.
Returns an escaped string for use in an SQLite SQL statement.
Note: Do not use this function to encode the return values from UDF's created using sqlite_create_function() or sqlite_create_aggregate() - use sqlite_udf_encode_binary() instead.
addslashes() should NOT be used to quote your strings for SQLite queries; it will lead to strange results when retrieving your data.

sqlite_escape_string() does not catch all HTML characters that may
conflict with a browser display. Notice the difference with the
custom routine below
<?php
# php lib command
$str = "Advoid! /slashes\, 'single' and these <too>";
$str = sqlite_escape_string($str);
echo "<br>$str<br>";
# custom function
$str = "Advoid! /slashes\, 'single' and these <too>";
$str = clean($str);
echo "<br>$str<br>";
function clean($str) {
$search = array('&' , '"' , "'" , '<' , '>' );
$replace = array('&', '"', ''', '<', '>' );
$str = str_replace($search, $replace, $str);
return $str;
}
?>
Output:
Advoid! /slashes\, "single" and these
Advoid! /slashes\, 'single' and these <too>

You can try this (it works with strings and arrays):
<?php
// oop
class sqlite extends SQLiteDatabase {
public function escape($data) {
if(is_array($data))
return array_map("sqlite_escape_string", $data);
return sqlite_escape_string($data);
}
}
$db = new sqlite("dbname");
$values = array("hell'o", "he'y");
$values = $db->escape($values); // returns array("hell''o", "hey''y")
// procedural
function sqlite_myescape($data) {
if(is_array($data))
return array_map("sqlite_escape_string", $data);
return sqlite_escape_string($data);
}
$values = array("hell'o", "he'y");
$values = sqlite_myescape($values); // returns array("hell''o", "hey''y")
?>

@minots: simplify what you are doing:
<?php
function sqlite_escape_array( &$arr ) {
$invalid = array( 'argv', 'argc' );
foreach ( $arr as $key => $val )
if ( ( strtoupper( $key ) != $key ) && !is_numeric( $key ) && !in_array( $key, $invalid ) ) {
if ( is_string( $val ) )
$arr[$key] = sqlite_escape_string( $val );
else if ( is_array( $val ) )
sqlite_escape_array( $arr[$key] );
}
return $arr;
}
?>
I'm not sure if the condition is equivalent to yours, but this excludes any numeric key, any completely uppercase'd keys and some selected (argc and argv) special keys. In case of never passing $GLOBALS or $_SERVER as argument one might shorten everything to this as a "pipelined" version:
<?php
function sqlite_escape_array( $arr ) {
foreach ( $arr as $key => $val )
if ( is_string( $val ) )
$arr[$key] = sqlite_escape_string( $val );
else if ( is_array( $val ) )
$arr[$key] = sqlite_escape_array( $val );
return $arr;
}
?>
PHP's syntax is more powerful than those of many other languages, even when it's supporting their one's as well.

sometimes i you have to escape an array instead of a string.
my function to do it works like:
array sqlite_escape_array ( &array string)
<?php
function sqlite_escape_array(&$arr)
{
while ( list($key, $val) = each($arr) ):
if ( (strtoupper($key)!=$key OR "".intval($key) == "$key") && $key!="argc" and $key!="argv"):
if (is_string($val)):
$arr[$key]=sqlite_escape_string($val);
endif;
if (is_array($val)):
$arr[$key]=sqlite_escape_array($val);
endif;
endif;
endwhile;
return $arr;
}
?>
