It is sometimes necessary to maintain the special characters in text, such as the apostrophe, speech marks, null character and backslash as these can be mis-interpreted by systems such as SQL if not modified appropriately.

$inputData = "The is a quote '";
$Description = addslashes($inputData);
echo "Revised Text: " . $Description;
