Why is using a mysql prepared statement more secure than using the common escape functions?

An important point that I think people here are missing is that with a database that supports parameterized queries, there is no 'escaping' to worry about. The database engine doesn't combine the bound variables into the SQL statement and then parse the whole thing; The bound variables are kept separate and never parsed as a generic SQL statement.

For one, you're leaving the escaping of dangerous characters to the database, which is a lot safer than you, the human.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
