mail() escapes quotes automatically???

[thoward]

For some reason, when I send a mail message and quotes or single quotes are contained, the function (or somewhere in the process) adds a forward slash("\") in front of the quotes. I've tried to escape them myself prior to sending the email, adding double quotes around the whole message, etc.

All I'm doing is sending two variables from a form ($subject & $msg). Then sending those variables to a list of email addresses from a mySQL database. If $msg has any quotes, then the forward slash is added to the message before sending to the recipients.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

First of all, '/' is a forward slash, and '\' is a backslash 🙂

Try using the stripslashes() function.
