Storing large amounts of HTML into a var

[dstroup]

I'm trying to store a large amount of HTML, which contains all sorts of tags into a variable in PHP.

Since HTML has " chars and the text that is in the HTML contains 's, I don't know how to even temporarally store it to do addslashes() on it...

For example, I want to store:

Hello, this is an example, I can't seem to get it to work, <a href="http://www.test.org">here's a link</a>

Say I want that into a variable, so then I can send that text using mail(), but no matter what I try I get parse errors.

Any help is appreciated.

Read it from a file or manually add the slashes.

[brandonschnell]

or use the php function addslashes(). example:

$variable = addslashes($variable).

there are a couple of functions to add slashes depending on what you need to do with it.
