<function>PDO::quote</function> places quotes around the input
string and escapes and single quotes within the input string.
Quoting input strings has been a common means of attempting to
prevent SQL injection attacks; however, an even safer approach
is to use prepared statements with named parameters or placeholders
for the input values.

Not all PDO drivers implement this method.
