+
+ PDO::quote 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.
