The second "'" should have come through as the html entity ( & # 0 3 9 ; ),
sorry.

I have a feeling it may be...new development:

I'm currently testing on my space on members.evolt.org, and I've also just
noticed phpMyAdmin displaying a Warning..."Warning: You haven't enabled
magic_quotes_gpc in your PHP configuration. PhpMyAdmin needs this to work
properly."

Anyone else having trouble with quotes on their MEO space?
