[FX.php List] Problems with a field having a " ' " entered

[Derrick Fogle]

You must have just missed all the hoopla over magicquotes and  
stripslashes on this list a couple weeks ago.

Either turn off the PHP magic_quotes_gpc (the setting can be  
controlled in the php.ini file), or use stripslashes() on anything  
going into your DB that might contain apostrophes or quotes, like this:

$query -> addDBParam('fieldname', stripslashes($submitteddata));

Turning off magic quotes is generally preferred, but using  
stripslashes will almost always work.
