single quotes problem in forms to mysql

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 26.2007

I have a form which asks for information such as name which could have a single quote in it. When I insert it into mySql database the query fails because the field hasn’t been escaped. Is there a function or an easy way to check a entry from a form for items like single quotes which cause database entry errors.

Better yet, use [url=http://www.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string]mysql_real_escape_string[/url]().

Success!
