"s in text causing problems

I'm still learning php and I've come to something that I think should be able to be done, but I can't seem to find it.
when I put a story(text) in a variable I have to add the in front of every ".
Is there any function that you can make a story(text) stay the same rather then change all the "s to "s ?
Thanks

you can use addslashes() for escaping from "s or 's.so you don't have to put '' infront of every " or '.


eg:

$str="fdgfdg'fdgFDG";

$str=addslashes($str);
