Silly Question

Hi folks, It's been a really long day and my head's turned to mush on a simple issue. I'm creating an entry/edit form (i.e. input type=text) and want the user to be able to include both apostrophes (') and quotes (") in their entered text without a problem. Problem is when I try to place the entered value into the input field for editing using the apostrophe or quote - value='$from_db' (so as to allow the user the ability to use spaces in their entry). Whichever deliminator I use prohibits the use of that character for obvious reasons. I have tried using the wierd apostrophe to the left of the 1 key (`), but that doesn't work with Netscape unfortunately. I've also tried various string functions like addslashes/stripslashes, htmlspecialchars, etc. but none of them are giving me what I want. I'm sure there's a really simple answer to this, but can't think what it is. Thanks in anticipation, guys.
