in Qt is there any equivalent function similar to "mysql_escape_string()" in PHP?

what I am trying to accomplish is to allow a user to enter information into a QTextedit and then transfer the data into a blob in mysql. My code so far works perfectly to get the text edit info into the blob except for cases where certain special characters are entered. For instance entering:

somestuff","somemorestuff
into the text edit causes an error as my query interprets this as part of the SQL statement rather than something the user typed that should be put in the blob.
