What is the cause of these problems, is it invalid characters being inserted into the database or something else?

The description of your problem is a bit vague. You will have to give more information regarding the problem, possibly supply some of the code in question, etc.

Since I am using MySqli, I don't need too worry about security issues?

No, injection is still a big risk. The new extension doesn't make you immune to it. :/
