You are looking for the "addslashes" function. It prepares data for
database querys:
$query = "insert into testtable6 (indx, col1, col2)";
$query .= " values (NULL, '" . addslashed($data1) . "'";
$query .= ",'" . addslashed($data2) . "'";
mysql_db_query("testdb", $query);
Also, you will need to use the "removeslashes" function when you get data
from a query.
