Bug description:  No escape function escapes “” properly

Description:
------------
None of the escaping functions are able to properly handle “” style
quotes, which are produced by default by open office.  Functions that I
have tested include mysql_real_escape_string, htmlentities, addslashes and
addcslashes.  This behavior causes text insertion into mysql to fail as it
interprets these quotes as normal double quotes.


 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$title = $_POST['title'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$tagline = $_POST['tagline'];
$article =nl2br(htmlentities($_POST['article'],ENT_QUOTES));
//<snip of some file handling>
 $query = "INSERT INTO news (title, date, tagline, article, image,
image_orig) VALUES ('$title', '$date', '$tagline', '$article',
'$image',$image_orig')"



Expected result:
----------------
The “” should be caught, escaped properly and not affecting the query. In
this case $article was the varible containing the quotes in question.

Actual result:
--------------
All text after the opening quote is dropped from the data inserted into
the query.
