What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter the URL to shorten, containing a ' (example
http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/farfetch'd)
2. Shorten

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output would be the URL I entered. Instead, the shortened
version links to http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/farfetch\\\'d, which doesn't
work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Phurl 2.0.0 BETA 2 (it worked with the non-beta version I had before, but I
don't remember the version number). Mac OS X.

This is because of the mysql_real_escape_string() function to stop sql 
injection attacks.

This should be fixed as it is a block for some sites. I believe it can be fixed 
using a simple stripslashes() after the URL is retrieved from the database - 
you would still maintain the mysql_real... functionality without breaking some 
urls
