Smart MySQL Escape Function
 
This function first checks to see if PHP is set to automagically quote stuff. If it is, we first strip pre-quoted stuff, then (assuming our text isn't numeric), we properly quote everything.
 
A good bit of room for improvement here, but at the very least, you should hit this before inserting anything into your database.
