mysql_real_escape_string needs to have an open connection to the db to work.
From the docs - http://www.php.net/mysql_escape_string :
"link_identifier
The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last
link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it
will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments.
If by chance no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level
warning is generated."
and
"Note: A MySQL connection is required before using
mysql_real_escape_string() otherwise an error of level E_WARNING is
generated, and FALSE is returned. If link_identifier isn't defined, the
last MySQL connection is used."
