You need those \ in there to store it into a database.

If you don't use a database, you can turn MagicQuotes off in php.ini

If you *do* use a database, you can use http://php.net/stripslashes to strip
out the slashes.

If, after turning off MagicQuotes, or calling stripslashes, you find you
need them back in there after all for something, you use http://addslashes
