If you use a form to input the data, you may need to use
html_entity_decode() to get rid of all htm encoded characters (you don't want
those)
Before you store data into the database, you want to run addslashes(), this
prevents problems with " or ' in the strings.
And when you fetched the data from the database, use stripslashes(), before
you echo things out.
