What is the difference between escape_string and real_escape_string?

Question

I am working on a dreamviewer. When I try to write basic syntax, it usually autocompletes.

As you can see, it offers 2 options for "escape": real_escape_string and escape_string. I wonder if there is a difference between the two?

Answer 1

escape_string is an alias of real_escape_string , so they are identical.
