php-mysql-quotes= ARRRRGHHHH !!

[stdywell]

can anyone point me to some sample code that shows how to handle putting data into and getting data out of a mysql db when the data has quotes, doublequotes, etc ? Have struggled all day.
Goal is to have a form that accepts the data, puts it into a db, pulls it out, displays it.

should i addslashes() before putting it in and stripslashes when taking it out ? am going bonkers here. any help would be appreciated..

Thanks -

Doug

check if gpc is off, if so then addslashes to globals.
before echo stripslashes.
