I am running a web app in codeigniter running on server. Here I've a user registration form, which works fine in localhost. But when it comes to server,when I try to register an user,my page shows the error:
mysql_escape_string() function is deprecated use mysql_real_escape_string() in mysql/mysql_driver
I tried changing my mysql_driver page but after changing everything goes blank. Can anyone help me to solve this error?
If you are using PHP 5.4 the function mysql_escape_string() is deprecated.So you need to do some changes in mysql driver file.Go to system\database\drivers\mysql\mysql_driver.php and find the escape_str function and replace the functions code with this code:
/**
* Escape String
*
* @param string
* @param bool whether or not the string will be used in a LIKE condition
* @return string
*/
public function escape_str($str, $like = FALSE)
{
if (is_array($str))
{
foreach ($str as $key => $val)
{
$str[$key] = $this->escape_str($val, $like);
}
return $str;
}
$str = is_resource($this->conn_id) ? mysql_real_escape_string($str, $this->conn_id) : addslashes($str);
// escape LIKE condition wildcards
if ($like === TRUE)
{
return str_replace(array($this->_like_escape_chr, '%', '_'),
array($this->_like_escape_chr.$this->_like_escape_chr, $this->_like_escape_chr.'%', $this->_like_escape_chr.'_'),
$str);
}
return $str;
}
It may help you...
