Description:
------------
The PDO quote method for Informix escapes single quotes inside string with a backslash which is invalid. A single quote should be escaped with another single quote ('TEST\'N%' is incorrect and breaks the query while 'TEST''N%' works).

Test script:
---------------
$pdo = new PDO();
$string = "TEST'N";
$search_string = $pdo->quote($string . "%");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM companies WHERE UPPER(name) LIKE $search_string LIMIT 1";
$query = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$query->execute();
$result = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($result);

Expected result:
----------------
No errors

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: -11060 [Informix][Informix ODBC Driver]General error.

I don't know about INFORMIX, but that escaping[1] looks like MySQL
escaping.

When stumbling on the problem I did some research and found information on https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/informix-servers/14.10?topic=statements-quotation-marks-escape-characters, but overall I haven't dived into this enough to determine if escaping everything else works properly.
