Description:
I would like to request a function to escape queries that is used in FULLTEXT searches, currently (from a PHP backend):

$sql = '... AGAINST(\'+' . $input . '\') ...';

If $input have a void value like: $input = '--'; then the query would end up looking like:

... AGAINST('+--') ...

Which is a syntax error, ofcourse. So I would like to request a C function to handle such escape sequences much like the escape string API that is exposed to client libraries used for language bindings.

How to repeat:
