[PHP] Magic Quotes Issue

[Shaun]

Hi,

I have been investigating the problem of apostrphes in a mysql insert / 
update. I use a db_query function for all my queries:

function db_query($query) {
  $qid = mysql_query($query);
  return $qid;
}

It appears after some research that the best way around the problem is to 
check whether magic_qoutes_gpc is off and if so use addslashes(). I have 
altered the function to this:

function db_query($query) {
  if(!magic_quotes_gpc()){
    $qid = mysql_query(addslashes($query));
  } else {
    $qid = mysql_query($query);
  }
  return $qid;
}

But this adds too many slashes! Has anyone come to a better solution 
regarding this?

Thanks
