stripslashes()? -----Original Message----- From: Marie Osypian [mailto:mosypian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 9:22 AM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: escape character \"Fees and Expenses.\" Quick question: I am sending email via a simple script: \"QUOTED TEXT.\" is in the body of the message with escape characters. When the mail is sent and arrives the \ (escape characters) are still in the email text, any way to remove them an not break the script? $headers = "From: $name <$email>\n"; $headers .= "Cc: $Name <$email>\n"; $headers .= "X-Sender: <$email>\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: $Name\n"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: <$email>"; $recipient = "$user_first $user_last <$user_email>"; $subject = "$Subject"; $message = "Dear $First $Last,\n"; $message .= "\n"; $message .= "Example text here \"QUOTED TEXT.\" \n"; $message .= "\n"; $message .= "Example text here \"QUOTED TEXT.\"\n"; $message .= "\n"; $message .= "Example text here \"QUOTED TEXT.\"\n"; $message .= "\n"; $message .= "$Name\n"; $message .= "$Company\n"; $message .= "$Phone \n"; mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers); Thanks, MAO
