[PHP] how to handle inserting special characters into a mysql field

[Adam Williams]

I'm going to be inserting data from a PHP form into a mysql field.  The 
data could contain special characters like < > ' " \ /, etc.  How do I 
handle that?  just $data = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($data)); before 
the insert query?  because later on the data will be read back from the 
mysql db and I don't want it to contain a special character that would 
break the PHP script.
