Automated stripslashes() before entering database…?

I’m using a mysql database.

A little example script:

[code=php]
$string = addslashes(“Let’s do it!”);
echo $string;

mysql_query(“INSERT INTO table(field) VALUES(‘” . $string . “‘)”);
[/code]

The echo() outputs “Let‘s do it!” (With slash, obviously). When I look in the database, the slash is gone though. It just says “Let’s do it!”. If I do the addslashes twice, like this:

[code=php]
$string = addslashes(addslashes(“Let’s do it!”));
[/code]

Then the value in the database is “Let‘s do it!”, so, with a slash.

I’m getting the idea there is some automated stripslashes() before the data enters the database. Do I just need to add the slashes twice or am I doing something wrong or something?
