That's a security issue, and it's good. But... yes, at times, it can cause problems.
Please post the code.
likely, stripslashes($var); will do the trick.

You might look into disabling "magic quotes", thereby avoiding the addition of the slashes in the first place (and receiving a slight performance increase in the process). Just be sure to escape values when you really do need to do so.
