RE: [PHP] ' database problem From: Greg Gatlin (greg <email protected>)

Simply,
  use the PHP function addslashes() on the string you are inserting into the
database. It will 'escape' any of those pesky user entered problems.
  $string2 = addslashes($string1);
  $query = "insert into table (value) values ('$string2')";

  Have Fun.
