The only thing that gets me here is why the apostrophe's are not addslashes on your setup normally. On uploadproduct we run title and desc through our code sanitizer checker the function typecast and it should properly addslashes if needed.
Now you can try changing in image-inc.php these two lines to this and see if it works by adding apostrophe's in a title and desc and see if it is successful
