mysqli_real_escape_string与php中的数组？

Question

My code is like this

 public function addQuestions($data){


    $ans = array();
    $ans[1] = $data['ans1'];
    $ans[2] = $data['ans2'];
    $ans[3] = $data['ans3'];
    $ans[4] = $data['ans4'];
    $ans= mysqli_real_escape_string($this->db->link, $data[$ans]);

}

Is this right way to use array in this sql function ??

Answer 1

Since you wish to do something to each element of array $ans, it would be most appropriate to use array_map() , as follows:

public function addQuestions($data){


    $ans = array();
    $ans[1] = $data['ans1'];
    $ans[2] = $data['ans2'];
    $ans[3] = $data['ans3'];
    $ans[4] = $data['ans4'];

    $escaped_ans = array_map(function( $e ) {
             return mysqli_real_escape_string( $this->db->link, $e);
    }, $ans );

Answer 2

Since you have an array, and you want mysqli_real_escape_string on each element of an array, you can use array_walk() :

function myescape($val)
{
    return mysqli_real_escape_string($val);
}

... then

array_walk($ans, 'myescape');

Answer 3

if you use MYSQL PDO you won't need add "mysqli_real_escape_string" because all your variables a safe (from SQL injection) after you bind it

Answer 4

I don't have enough reputation to comment on Milan's post, but beware of array_walk, it won't change your original array. For Milan's code to actually affect your array, the function would have to be

function myescape(&$val) //Note the '&' which calls $val by reference.
{
    $val = mysqli_real_escape_string($val);
}

array_walk($ans, 'myescape');

To answer your question though:

public function addQuestions($data){
    $ans = array('',$data['ans1'],$data['ans2'],$data['ans3'],$data['ans4']);
    //I would recommend using an object/associative array in this case though, just the way $data is already

    $ans_escaped = array_map(function($val) {
        return mysqli_real_escape_string($this->db->link, $val);
    }, $ans);

    //do whatever you need to do with escaped array
}

My advice though, would be to really look into prepared statements. It might just seem like extra work that you don't want to bother with - at first - but once you learn it, you will never want to do it any other way.
