Login Script against two tables

[BUFFY]

Like to thank everyone for their help.

I now have a working login script and registration!

However, im using:
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
and
$title=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title']);

but need the PHP3.43 equivalent...

Any ideas?

[DJMaze]

mysql_escape_string($username);

but that's for non-binary data only

[BUFFY]

mysql_escape_string

Non binary - as in non numbers? or non true/false??

I need it for dates and phone numbers, would it be suitable?

[DJMaze]

A phonenumber is text, a date is numeric/text, both are non-binary

Binary data is images, unicode, zip, exe, etc.
If you want to store such items in your database the mysql_escape_string() can't deal with them properly.
The exact reason is also depending on character set and other aspects
