MySQL on CPanel|Just another WordPress weblog

I am using PHP and right now I am using the function mysql_escape_string on the strings I am writing. Unfortunately this puts a backslash into my database, which is ugly and I do not want to have to escape backslashes upon pulling data out.

Example: That’s is getting written as That\’s

thats an age old problem, there is a function that does that for you, otherwise if you are a good programmer you can do this yourself by using str_replace()

It’s also advised that you do a server-side sanity check on anything coming through the DMZ. This usually means bounds-checking variables for the most part.
