title: Binding params and escaping string in MySQLi (PHP)
body: <p>I bind all variables to all kind of statements (<code>UPDATE</code>/<code>INSERT</code>/<code>SELECT</code> etc.) using the <code>bind_param()</code> function. But I am confused with bind params. </p>
  
  <p>Do I also need to use <strong>real_escape_string</strong> even though I use bind_param? Are both of them completely different things?</p>
