Mysql turns ' into ’?

Question

How can I stop mysql from converting \' into ’ when I do an insert?

i believe it has something to do with charset or something?

Answer 1

This is what I've done, and it worked for me:

1. First make sure that column containing ' is utf8_general_ci

2. Then add the mysql_set_charset to your code

   $db=mysql_connect("localhost", $your_username, $your_password);
   mysql_set_charset('utf8',$db);
   mysql_select_db($your_db_name, $db);
