title: store commas in mysql database
body: <p>I'm trying to store the date in an sql table, but I want it formatted as such:</p>
  
  <p>Month day, year
  October 10, 2010
  But whenever I do the sql call, the 2010 gets lost. How can I fix this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$eventdate = "October 10, 2010";
  $sql = "INSERT INTO `tims`.`blog` ( `title`, `date`, `post`, `author`, `approved`) \n"
              . "VALUES (
                  '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['title'])     . "',
                  '" . mysql_real_escape_string(addslashes($eventDate)) . "',
                  '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['TextArea1']) . "',
                  '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['author'])    . "', 'False')\n";
  
  //echo $sql;
  $qry = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
  </code></pre>
