Adding "'s to a $_POST value

Ant
Hi,

I'm a bit of a newbie to php.

I have some values that I'm getting via the post method which I want to
include in an sql statement - the problem is I need to enclose the value in
"'s but I dont know how.

e.g $id = $_POST["id"];

so, if $id = monkey I want to turn it into "monkey"

Any help much appreciated - I'm sure it's something obvious and I'm just
being thick.
