OK, here's the scoop. I want to insert a large amount of freeform text into a mysql table. The php statement that builds the query is like so:
$sql = "insert into leads values(\"\", \"$date_valid\", \"$state_valid\",\"$title\", \"$v_lead\")";
The "lead" column (v_lead) has a type of "longtext".
Said text is to be cut and pasted from existing documents. It will have lots of quotes (") in it that will foul things up. How to get around this?
