Frequently asked questions
Why escape strings?
Quotes, backslashes, and line breaks have special meaning inside code. Escaping lets them appear as literal characters.
How does SQL escaping work?
Single quotes are doubled ('' ) inside a string literal. For real queries, use parameterized statements instead.
What does regex escaping do?
It puts a backslash before characters like . * + ? so they match literally.
