PHP|MySql - cannot insert text contains apostrophe
<p>[I am using phpmyadmin]</p>

<p>I want to insert the long texts which are a large description of a city or region. 
It contains apostrophe and comma, but when inserted, comma is not a problem but the apostrophe are. </p>

<p>For eg. <br/></p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>'</strong> Taunggyi's the administrative capital for the whole of Shan State. Perched on top of a mountain, it's also a busy trading post,
  and the...<strong>'</strong>,</p>
</blockquote>

<p>It will an input from the user (type-in) to the text area on my website. 
So it cannot define statically like other examples I found. <br /></p>

<p>Current one <br/>
<code>//php $name=$_REQUEST["name"]; //
 //in insert query =&gt;  '.$name.',</code> <br/> </p>

<p>Have tried like below too, but not working.</p>

<pre><code>'".$name."',
</code></pre>

<p>Any good ideas, please! Your help is most appreciated. Thank you!</p>
