mysql_escape_string() not working as planned

[CloudedVision]

I have a simple query that inserts a string into a table. I'm using mysql_escape_string() to escape all quotation marks and apostrophes. But the inserted values keep the double backslashes that mysql_escape_string inserted. How do I escape the values but prevent the backslashes from being inserted?

I dont understand what you mean; Can you give us an example of what you are entering, and what it looks like in the database? If you dont add backslashes, you aren't escaping the values..

Nevermind. Turns out the values were previously escaped. Still don't know why........
