After you've retrieved the info from the database run it through 
stripslashes() before displaying it.

OK, at the very least read the manual entries for 

addslashes()
stripslashes()

You could also set these values in your php.ini:

magic_quotes_gpc = off
magic_quotes_runtime = off

If you do this, then remember when inserting the data into a mysql 
database, it still needs to be escaped:

$sql = sprintf(
 insert into table (id, field) values ('', '%s'),
 mysql_escape_string($fieldvalue)
);
