mysql_real_escape_string question

[bruce]

hi...

from the docs... it appears the the mysql_real_escape_string function (from
php) is used to backslash a set of chars in the string for insertion into
the mysql db...

however, given that the '/' is mysql, vs ansi, i was wondering if there's a
way to force it to use the ansi standard "'" instead of the "/".

this is in a php app, and i'd like to be as standard as possible in the
event i need to change dbs..

thanks
