From: Operating system: debian PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: PostgreSQL related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:pg_escape_string() mishandles \
Description: ------------ My understanding of pg_escape_string() is that it will escape only those characters that require escaping by the postgresql database. Using standard_conforming_strings=on in postgres (8.2.4) a "\" (backslash) character is just a backslash character, not a special character requiring escaping. Therefore, I do not think pg_escape_string('\') should return '\\' but rather '\'. The only way I can see to enter a single backslash character is to use the E('\\') syntax but I should not have do so. Test script: --------------- <?php print pg_escape_string(' \ '); ?> Expected result: ---------------- should return ' \ ' Actual result: -------------- returns ' \\ ' -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51503&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51503&r=mysqlcfg
