I didn't notice until now that my quotes are already being escaped somewhere between after I call $.post() and when my php page picks them up. I have been using mysql_real_escape_string for the way into the DB and strip_slashes for the way out.
I don't really want to strip_slashes before I post them to the database, because there could be some slashes intentionally added by the user. But I can't mysql_real_escape_string them with the slash either. Help?
