I fixed it. But I'm not clear on why. The following code ie. taking the content and blatently putting the content through addslashes():
$descrip_field=addslashes($descrip_field); Fixed it. But the code: if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $descrip_field = mysql_real_escape_string($descrip_field); } Did *not* fix it. So, to simplify this. Why would addslashes work and the other code (which I see often as a "recommend" way to escape) not work? This is a PHP question I suppose but I wanted to end the thread.
