One problem

it is that as a global function it wouldn't match

Okay.
Use the database object's addQuotes() method if
you must construct
SQL
manually. This performs both quoting and escaping
appropriate to the
database connection.
e.g.: 'blah blah page_title=' . $dbr->addQuotes( $row->page_title )
So, obviously, I have some extensions that worked with versions up to
and including 1.8.2, but will break 1.9alpha. I'm comfortable with
that, but I've only recently started hacking at this code, so a
little push along might be needed. In the case of the RSS feed
extension I have (Alxndr's, actually), the guilty line reads:
$ti = wfStrencode($wgTitle->getDBkey());
I'm not yet familiar enough with this to completely understand what's
going on, so if I could ask; can you show me in this case what I
should be doing? If I get shown once, I should be able to deal with
it into the future.
Much appreciated. Oh, and thanks for gently tolerating the n00b.
