HTML chars in a query

[foofoobar]

Ok, having serious problems. Am sending data via a form to be submitted to a database (TEXT field). For some reason the query won't work due to the chars being sent. I have tried about everything and am about to give up.

I have magic_quotes_gpc on to handle the data sent from the form and then I convert it as so so that I can add it into a query.

$text=mysql_escape_string(htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($text)));

Where am I going wrong?

I think I fixed it. It was gimped code on my side. I put in a few tests and found out I had a type in my variable declarations. Works fine now. 🙂
