[thelist] simple (?) php question

Hi all,

I have a problem with a series of .php pages which
pull data (stories) from a mySQL dataset.

The problem is that the pages are sometimes being
rendered in the browser with quotes and other characters
escaped. Here's a small example;

  \'They seemed very, very close\', one witness claimed.\"

The pages are here ;
http://members.evolt.org/dbo/rumours/rumours.php

The field in question is stored as data type text. I'm
new to PHP, so any advice or suggestions on how to fix
this are appreciated.

cheers,
