Apostrophe problem (causes \ problem) (PHP/Mysql) & auto delete after 30 days?

I just started up a 100% FREE dating site for only people that do not have or want kids.? I am using 100% free software.? The name of the software is:? Osdate.? It is basically written in PHP and uses mysql.? I am using version 2.0.4 although there is slightly newer version available.? I have 2 requests: 1.? I have the apostrophe problem resulting in /.? Basically, here is a sample of how something a user types in is displayed: I\'d try to change their mind, but if they were set on children, I\'d be very very sad, but I\'d end the relationship. I obviously need to remove the "\" evenever an apostrophe is typed in by the user.? There are a number of places where a person types in information on the site.? I obviously need all of them fixed so that a person can type in an postrophe without the "\" error occuring. 2.? The site is set so that if a person does not answer particular questions, a skull & crossbones is automatically put on their profile.? It works perfectly.? However, I'd like the site to AUTOMATICALLY DELETE their profiles (if the skull & crossbones remains on their profile for more than 30 days -- no sense of having a bunch of profiles on my site that never really completed their profile/answered their questions).
