double-quotes are gone, yet it still escapes the 'ghost'

I even tried
str_replace(array(\x8c, \x9c, ', ''), '', $string)
but the ghost remains and mysql continues to escape them.
I check the charsets, and the db is Latin-1 and the sting is ISO-8859-

Any thoughts on this would be most graciously accepted.

is $string honestly something that you are getting via a form submit?
if so, your system might have magic quotes enabled.
This would automatically escape quotes with the attempt to make the
values safer, and then you go and run your str_replace command and
remove the double quotes, you end up leaving the '\' that the system
automatically put in the value for you.
read up on magic quote gpc
hope this helps.
