re: variables with ""

Using the \ or using single quotes instead of double is great. However I am now finding a problem if someone inputs either single or double quotes on a form which uses php. The user inputs for example: I\ve performed many roles including "Figaro", "Dandini" and 'Wotan' becomes: I\'ve performed many roles including \"Figaro\", \"Dandini\" and \'Wotan\' Is there a simple way of getting rid of the annoying backslash(\) from a the contents of a variable?
