RE: [PHP] " in data

I tried the "addslashes" on the pages and in combination of using &quot; to bring in the data to begin with, it works somewhat, where I am running into a problem now is the 2nd time it pulls the data out (it adds it back in with ") I am getting the same errors. I have tried using the "addslashes" and when I view it IN the DB all I have are the ". When I pull out the data again, I have a single " and it is not escaped, though I have the addslashes working on it. Do I need to post code or has this jarred someone's memory? I guess I need to figure out how to read my $_POST[data] and parse that to put in &quot; because that seems to work, but not sure how to make PHP do that. Any thoughts?
