Yes, the php is seeing it as a tag and creating the error. Meta tags only need the text, extra characters are not indexed, same in the description.

Try not to use single quote in the tags.

i suspect that mysql escape function does not works on your host.
Try  to ask hosting provider support about mysql_real_escape_string for your account ASAP. 
If it really does not work this is dangerous situation for you!

they say meta tag keywords and meta descriptions do not matter much for the search engines today... so you could drop using these fields altogether
