[Resolved] mysql_real_escape_string() problem

[baffled_in_UK]

Hi,

I'm running PHP 4.2.3 so could anyone tell me why running this function:

function escape_data ($data) { 
	global $dbc;
	if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) {
		$data = stripslashes($data);
	}
	return mysql_real_escape_string (trim ($data), $dbc); }

gives this error :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_real_escape_string()

Thanks

Just found out the function is available in 4.3
