title: Mysql Real Escape String PHP Function Adding "\" to My Field Entry
body: <p>I am submitting a form to my MySQL database using PHP.</p>
  
  <p>I am sending the form data through the <code>mysql_real_escape_string($content)</code> function.</p>
  
  <p>When the entry shows up in my database (checking in phpMyAdmin) all of my double quotes and single quotes are escaped.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm fairly certain this is a PHP configuration issue?</p>
  
  <p>so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$content = 'Hi, my name is Jascha and my "favorite" thing to do is sleep';
  mysql_real_escape_string($content);
  $query = 'INSERT INTO DB...'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>comes up in my database as:</p>
  
  <p>Hi, my name is Jascha and my \"favorite" thing to do is sleep</p>
  
  <p>Who do I tell what to do?  (I cannot access the php.ini).</p>
