Strange Slashes issue

Hi

I am trying to get text into a db and am having issues with addslashes (at least i think that's the problem)

I am carrying text through a set of pages in a hidden field, when i do a view source on the page it looks as it should a la:

<input type=hidden name=text value=http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/archive/index.php/"that\'s right now">

Yet when i take the last step and put this into the db it does not put in the slash, all that goes in is: that's right

Yet if i add another occurrence of

$text = addslashes($text)

right before the data goes in it works OK.

Seems like the problem might be related to carrying slashes in hidden fields? But, if I echo $text right before I add to the db it does print the slash.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Darren
