Sorry, I meant mysql_escape_string().
I missed the fact it was already deprecated and as such, we have an
issue here in our code base since nor mysql_real_escape_string() nor
mysqli_real_escape_string() fits our use case as we are using it when
we have to generate an SQL file with queries to be executed on another
box. Not having access to a database prevents us to have a link which
is required by those functions.
