PDO database insert causes quotes to be escaped in the table

[hokietoner]

I'm doing something like this using PDO:

$stmt = $handle->prepare("INSERT INTO table (name, userId) VALUES (?, ?)");
$stmt->execute(array($name, $userId));

I know that PDO prevents against SQL injection by doing the quote escaping for me, but I'm noticing that the escape is being stored in the table. Normally, if my sql was

"INSERT INTO table (col) VALUES ('foo\'bar')"

Then the data inserted would be

foo'bar

But using PDO, the data in the table is

foo\'bar

 

How do I prevent the backslash from being stored in the table?

 

Thanks
