Added character escaping to teacher registration form

Since submissions with apostrophes were breaking the teacher registration form ( http://www.canadianmysteries.ca/teachers/login/indexen.php ) - for example, "Queen's University" - I added a loop that passes all of the POST variables through mysql_real_escape_string before inserting into the DB.

GUMICH DNS problems

After some very odd behaviour on GUMICH sites we discovered that the registrar for GUMICH domains has reversed the settings we changed last year, meaning a whois query for the three sites shows canadawebhosting as the registered DNS entry.
I logged in to the system and changed the www pointer A record to point to 142.104.6.1 (because an A record apparently needs to be an IP address) - I did this for all the sites.

NOTE: in order to make the changes I *had to* remove an mx record for mail. The existing entries were:
mx1c11.megamailservers.com.
mx2c11.megamailservers.com.
mx3c11.megamailservers.com.

I found the pdfs in the $homedir/www/quests/20/support/ directory - rather than moving them I copied them to the folder referred to by the link ($homedir/www/quests/20/evaluations/).
