Question

I have a piece of data that is large and will probably contain quotes and double quotes.

I\'m using mysql_real_escape_string() to store it safely.

Answer 1

Do you use magic quotes?

Note: If magic_quotes_gpc is enabled, first apply stripslashes() to the data. Using this function [mysql_real_escape_string] on data which has already been escaped will escape the data twice.
