String trouble

I am using a function that does a very basic encryption (rotation based) of
data.
Data is a string which may contain a..z,A..Z,0..9,[],(),|,{}"', length
limited to 255 chars.

The problem I have is the following:

Let's say my $string is 'This is a string'
At a given moment encrypt ($string) yields '6noq4oq4"q6{o]3' as a result.
When I decrypt that I get my original string back. But if I send the
encrypted string in a POST var, this is what I get:
'6noq4oq4\"q6{o]3'; So the " gets escaped and decrypt produces undesired
results.
I don't want that. I want whatever I am putting in to come out verbatim in
the receiving script.

Which function(s) will help me do this ?

THANKS!
Pjotr

PS I am aware of exisiting PHP hash and encrypt functions. This is for
demonstration purposes only.
