Apostrophe (') Gets Censored After Inserting Into MySQL. How to Fix it?

I think MySQL doesn't like apostrophe or '. When inserting into MySQL, the apostrophe goes missing. How to fix this? Simple. Here's it is:

$text = "My car's mirror is broken!";
$text2DB = addslashes($text);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO ... $text2DB ... // complete the MySQL INSERT INTO action here



PHP's addslashes() function is enough to solve this problem. It will add slashes when necessary automatically. Isn't that neat?
