    pg_escape_literal (PHP 5 >= 5.4.4, PHP 7, PHP 8)
pg_escape_literal —  Escape a literal for insertion into a text field    Description pg_escape_literal(PgSql\Connection $connection = ?, string $data): string  pg_escape_literal() escapes a literal for querying the PostgreSQL database. It returns an escaped literal in the PostgreSQL format. pg_escape_literal() adds quotes before and after data. Users should not add quotes. Use of this function is recommended instead of pg_escape_string(). If the type of the column is bytea, pg_escape_bytea() must be used instead. For escaping identifiers (e.g. table, field names), pg_escape_identifier() must be used.  
Note: 
 This function has internal escape code and can also be used with PostgreSQL 8.4 or less.     Parameters
  connection
  An PgSql\Connection instance. When connection is unspecified, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().   data
   A string containing text to be escaped.      Return Values  A string containing the escaped data.    Changelog    Version Description     8.1.0  The connection parameter expects an PgSql\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.       Examples
