damn skippy... so how do I escape this, and would this be an issue if it was inserting $description?

@user1621945: using prepared statements will escape all chars that need escaping for you, that's why the update mentions mysqli_prepare. BTW: I don't know what exactly you're planning to store in that DB, but using TEXT fields should be avoided if possible (each query will create a temporary table on disk, because text fields are deemed too large). Just a tip
