SQL String Escaping

Here's an example of using grep to find all instances of the word "insert" (ignoring case):

ssyed@server:~$ cd /var/www/ 
ssyed@server:/var/www$ grep -Ri insert . 
... a whole bunch of results ...
./folder_button/jsinclude_server_com_ccare.php:$query = "INSERT INTO log VALUES(NULL, '$ip', '$hostname', '". $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ."', '". $data['queue_id'] ."', '". $data['status_id'] ."','". $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ."');";	
... a whole bunch more results ...
