Turn off magic_quotes_gpc in php.ini or .htaccess or use stripslashes() on the fields. The quotes are there for easy database updates/inserts but cause trouble if you have to re-echo the data out. If you insert these fields into a db, and have turned of magic_quotes_gpc, you'll need to use addslashes on each field. Otherwise you get new problems.
