That is incorrect. mysql_real_escape_string is a php function, not mysql.
Mostly true: mysql_real_escape_string is a php function, but it's provided by the mysql extension as part of the mysql client libraries (which explains the name). It doesn't do anything significantly different to addslashes(), which is purely a PHP internal function. If you are writing database independent code, you should probably prefer addslashes (or things like adodb::qstr).
