Mail command help

[Anon]

Hello

I am successfully using the mail() command to send form data to an email address. However one of the fields on the form is of textarea type. I have noticed that if I enter multiple lines in this field, then when I receive the email it looks like this:
hello
\
world

instead of:
hello
world

Is there any conversion on the string I can perform before sending the email to stop this from happening?

Note: I have tried the nl2br() function, but this just changes the "\" character to "<br >" instead.

stripslashes($text); should work hope that helps you

Hi

Just to let everyone know, I found the answer was to use the stripslashes() command.

Thanks for replying.

I just found out myself what the answer was by examining the characters that were getting added :-)
