As a rule of thumb, you should never ever cross-post to so many newsgroups or mailing lists! Just asking here on the PHP list alone will get you the answer to this question. That said, the PHP developers have created a function that can escape the quotes for you -- it is called "addslashes()". Read the man pages for addslashes() and stripslashes() at www.php.net for information on their usage. You may also be able to set the gpc_magic_quotes setting in your php.ini on your server, but using addslashes() and stripslashes() allows you to fine-tune your control.
