if you store the data in the MYSQL database with the slashes escaping the
quotes, I think the complete stuff will get stored.
for ex - if you have
Description: I like to run and walk. I love "smelly cheese."
and on posting, you get
I like to run and walk. I love \"smelly cheese.\"
it will store the complete string into the MYSQL database.
and on retrieval you will get
I like to run and walk. I love "smelly cheese."
try it out
