I want to escape double quotes in input value.

Hi, Thanks in advance. I want to escape double quotes in input value. I have already used bind in insert and update command. But when i select the value from the table to display in input field. i am not able to see the correct value. For eg - <input type="text" name="module_name" value="<?php echo $module_name";?>">. I am not able to escape double quotes in the value.
