Codeigniter使用MYSQLI转义字符串

Question

I am currently updating a section of code that uses mysql currently the escape string is structured like this: $product_name = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['product_name'])); and works fine.

My issue is when I change the above string to $product_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($database, (trim($_POST['product_name']))); and declare the following: $database = $this->load->database(); above it I get the error that its NULL

How do I escape a string with CI?

CodeIgniter user manual wrote the following.

Beyond simplicity, a major benefit to using the Active Record features is that it allows you >to create database independent applications, since the query syntax is generated by each >database adapter. It also allows for safer queries, since the values are escaped >automatically by the system.

You can use Input class in your controller.

$this->load->model('mymodel');
$something = $this->input->post('something');
$results = $this->mymodel->mymethod($something);

In your model

$this->db->insert('mytable', $data);
