Prevent one strip slash? how?!

[ESCForums_com]

In this statement which is executed through php, the \1 in green I would like to stay the way it is, and not be stripped. Can this be EASILY done?

'INSERT INTO bbcodes VALUES (1, "", "date", "<table width=\"90%\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr><td><span class=\"genmed\"><b>Date:</b></span></td></tr><tr><td class=\"code\">\1 </td></tr></table>", "Date")'

Thanks..
