escaping values in a variable?

[fowlerlfc]

First of all, I am a newbie, so please excuse my ignorance!

I've built a php script that adds workorders to a mysql database. Everything is working great, except when someone submits a workorder with an apostrophe in it. Is there a php function or regexp that I can use to escape the apostrophe?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Anikin,

Thanks again for your help.

I solved my problem by setting magic_quotes=On in the php.ini.
