Re^3: Using regex to add a single backslash to escape quotes, instead of 2 backslashes or 0

Why don't you use

$dbh->quote(...)
[download]

as the documentation suggests?

I needed to convert a CSV file to SQL format (it would be later imported with phpMyAdmin). At the time of conversion there was no database to connect to, but a $dbh can be only created with a connection to a DB. Someone on StackOverflow suggested to use the above solution which works without a DB connection. ( http://stackoverflow.com/a/10458266 )	[reply]
