str_replace will do that for you.

str_replace("'", "\'", $mystring);

You have to use addslashes() method to escape the quote Ex:

<?php
$str = "Is your name O'reilly?";

// Outputs: Is your name O\'reilly?
echo addslashes($str);
?>

and the reverse method is stripslashes() which remove slashes Ex:

<?php
$str = "Is your name O\'reilly?";

// Outputs: Is your name O'reilly?
echo stripslashes($str);
?>
