MDB2 - MDB2_Driver_mysqli::quoteSmart()

using MDB2_Driver_mysqli - v1.4.1. (stable)

I'm trying to use the quoteSmart() function since it says in the documentation that quote() is deprecated.
However upon trying I get the following error:

Is their something I'm missing, or the stable version does not include the defined function yet? I bet it's something I'm missing, it always is. >.<

You're mixing two packages here:
- in DB quote() is deprecated (and quoteSmart() should be used)
- in MDB2 quote() isn't deprecated (and quoteSmart() doesn't exist)

And before you ask: Yes, it's better to use MDB2 than DB.

thanks, must've got confused from the docs.

I've been using MDB2 for over a year now, so I know the advantages it has over the older DB, which I have never used.

I have had to switch from MDB2 to DB (I needed the ODBC driver)
and had a questions about when to use quoteSmart

Are there any methods that automatically escape any input to be used in sql statements?

Do I need to use quoteSmart on methods that use placeholders like getOne, or when passing arrays of choices like to getAll, or simply using query instead of prepare/execute ?

I saw in the MDB2 docs that certain methods automatically escape input, but cant find anything in DB.

Thanks.
