Im using sphinxql currently and using mysql\_real\_escape\_string on my $query but since there is no database connection...I get an access denied. I was looking for alternatives :

```
$query = $_GET["query"];

$query = trim($query);
$remove = array(',','}','{',']','[',';',':','>','<','|',')','(','*','%','$','!','^','/');
$query=str_replace($remove, "", $query);
$con = mysql_connect("localhost:9306","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE MATCH ('$query')");

```
