When using Prepared Statements in PHP, what considerations should be made for storing JSON strings?

When storing JSON strings in a database using Prepared Statements in PHP, it is important to properly escape the JSON string to prevent SQL injection attacks. This can be achieved by using the `json_encode` function to encode the JSON string before binding it to the Prepared Statement. 

// Assuming $jsonString contains the JSON string to be stored
$jsonString = '{"key": "value"}';

// Prepare the SQL statement
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO table_name (json_column) VALUES (:json)");

// Bind the JSON string after encoding it
$stmt->bindParam(':json', json_encode($jsonString));

// Execute the statement
$stmt->execute();
