Why do you use urldecode($name) and stripslashes($tname1)? What for?
Why didn't you try code like this:
$tname = AddSlashes($name);
$updtStmt = "update vusers set orgname='$tname' where id=$tid";
If $name contains "Adrian D'Costa", $updtStmt will contain
"update vusers set orgname='Adrian D\'Costa' where id=$tid"
and the query will be ok. 100% guarantee.

I get the '>> prompt that is waiting for me the close the '. If I try the
