Sorry, I just realized that I omitted to include the context of my
problem in my question about unquoting.
A quoted string (that has a lot of special characters in it) is written
to a file. Later on it is read from that file and inserted into the
database using placeholders and bind_param.
Now my problem is, that none of that quoting and metasign-substition
disappears. e.g. don\'t is still don\'t and \n stays \n. How can I
unquote, resubstitue, ... ???
