lol.. not sure how to word the title!

Ok, If I store HTML in the database, specifically a href link
Code:
<a href="blah.com">click</a>
i am trying to pull it back out to an input text field, but since it has the " s its screwing up the html
Code:
<input type="text" name="msg_' . $row['UID'] . '" value="' . stripslashes($row['MSG']) . '" size="75" maxsize="100" />
i tried the addslashes/stripslashes... but it doesnt help?
