addslashes($line)

[Anon]

in the following code, which take a template (who is places in $arr_t1 or $arr_t2), fill it with the info from a form, to be emailed with mail() to a receiver :

$domail = 1;
while ($domail <= $nr_mail):
if ($domail == 1) $var2use = $arr_t1; else $var2use = $arr_t2;

	for ($index = 0; $index < count($var2use); $index++)
		{
		$pattern = ereg("{{[A-z0-9_]*}}", $var2use[$index]);
		if  ($pattern)
			{
			$line = ereg_replace("{{","$",$var2use[$index]);
			$line = ereg_replace("}}","",$line);
			}
		else 
			{
			$line = $var2use[$index];
			}		
			$line = addslashes($line) . "<br>";

			eval( "\$line = \"$line\";" );
			if ($index == 0 && $domail == 1) $linetot1 = $line;
			elseif ($index > 0 && $domail == 1) $linetot1 .= $line;
			if ($index == 0 && $domail == 2) $linetot2 = $line;
			elseif ($index > 0 && $domail == 2) $linetot2 .= $line;
		}

++$domail;

endwhile;

In the resulting mail, all ' are replaced by \ if coming from the form (and folowing text is cut) and all ' from the template are replaced by \' (but this time text following is shown)

all " from templates are replaced by \" (which destroys my hrefs links) and are simple not displayed if coming from the form (wuith following text not displayed)

what function could I use in my code for all ' and " to be displayed in the resulting mail messages???

ex info from template in email : d\'artiste
ex from coming from form : jeanne d\

Why don't you just drop using addslashes()?
addslashes() is primarily an SQL-related function and I don't see any SQL in your code.

You're right, I'm not using any SQL in that.
Ok, tried it, now the " show up ok (meaning my links from the temmplates now show up right), but there's still one \ (instead of two) in front of the ' in the email received. And I'm still loosing all text that is after any " and ' that my users enters in the form .. for a given variable .. mmm
