MySQL special characters problems

[ellis123]

Hello I have an issue with my mySQL queries and insertions.

When members write in the text area these characters, like:

' " < >
and some others.. the mySQL will give a database error.

What I can do to avoid this? I think it is a usualthing in PHP.

Thank you

this is an issue of critical security, you need to use mysql_real_escape_string();
