I don’t see the problem.
Use prepared statements – they never interpolate values into mysql query. You should be able to save anything you want.

$dsn = 'mysql:dbname=testdb;host=127.0.0.1';
$user = 'dbuser';
$password = 'dbpass';

try {
    $dbh = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
    $calories = 150;
    $colour = 'red';
    $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
        FROM fruit
        WHERE calories < ? AND colour = ?');
    $sth->bindParam(1, $calories, PDO::PARAM_INT);
    $sth->bindParam(2, $colour, PDO::PARAM_STR, 12);
    $sth->execute();
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

always read php.net manual first:
