Well..Debugged it.. Turns out the problem was after all not with the escaping function...

Check out the query :

UPDATE $jos_content

       fulltext  = '$article_code'
WHERE  id = '$article_id'";

I changed the query to this

"UPDATE $jos_content
SET    $jos_content.introtext = '$intro_code',
       $jos_content.fulltext  = '$article_code'
WHERE  $jos_content.id = '$article_id'";

And voila...!!!!
