apostrof replace first worked and now it doesn't

[hos2]

before I do an insert in mysql I replace all the apostrofs like this. but suddenly it doesn't work anymore. perhaps I have a new php version since I transfered from one server to another but can anyone tell me why this doesn't work ???

$llfmessage = str_replace (chr(39), "\'", $llfmessage);

There is a PHP function that does this for you. It's called addslashes.
$llfmessage = addslashes($llfmessage);
For more information, go to

http://www.php.net/addslashes

What actually happens when you try? because I just started working with PHP (latest ver. at home) and went to do the same thing. I got confused for a minute because PHP was replacing them for me when I did a INSERT so they were replaced twice.

Something to check.
