Ok, here is the procedure in which I am inserting the data into the
database...
// Retrieve a line from a file
$line = trim($file_contents[$i]);
//explode the line into an array
$arr = explode(",", $line);
// and then add slashes to exploded data items
$name = addslashes(trim($arr[1]));
With the name variable I then use it inside a query string
When retrieving the data from the database I use the following...
stripslashes($rows[ 'name' ])
