If you have <input type="hidden" name="data" value="The word &quot;here&quot; is in quotes." />, then when you submit your form, $HTTP_POST_VARS["data"] or $HTTP_GET_VARS["data"] will be: The word \"here\" is in quotes. So you can put the value straight into MySQL. The slashes will not show up in MySQL. The browser converted the &quot; into ", and PHP for some reason (I still don't know why) adds slashes before your ' and " characters. If you use the value elsewhere (aside from just inserting it into MySQL), you'll have to use the stripslashes() function to get rid of the slashes.
