Use "" to encapsulate the string in your code instead of '?

Something like [CODE]INSERT INTO myTable VALUES("is", "isn't");[/CODE]
Or escape it with a backslash?

Something like [CODE]INSERT INTO myTable VALUES('is', 'isn't');[/CODE]

str_replace("'","'",$your_string);

mysql_escape_string() function,

mysql_real_escape_string() function, and

Magic Quote directives.
