$sql="UPDATE images SET orderno=$orderno,

banner=$banner,caption='".addslashes($caption)."'
WHERE imageID=$imageID";

...and $caption contains something like:

"Don't look"

...the data is chopped off at the single quote mark.

How, if not addslashes(), does one handle this?

Change the contents of $sql to use double quotes around the strings instead of single - that's what real_escape_string was designed to escape. Alternatively use str_replace to escape single quotes.
