If you have <input type="hidden" name="data" value="The word "here" is
in quotes." />, then when you submit your form, $HTTP_POST_VARS["data"] or
$HTTP_GET_VARS["data"] will be:
The word \"here\" is in quotes.
So you can put the value straight into MySQL. The slashes will not show up in
MySQL. The browser converted the " into ", and PHP for some reason (I still
don't know why) adds slashes before your ' and " characters. If you use the
value elsewhere (aside from just inserting it into MySQL), you'll have to use
the stripslashes() function to get rid of the slashes.
