Problems with php form mail

[Anon]

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to PHP. I have a problem with sending form email with php script. The problem is that PHP script puts ( \ ) back slash signs in front of the ( ' ) apostrophe character in the email message. How do i remove or filter this from happening. Whenever I receive email with the message like ("That's a problem"), the email message is like ("That\'s a problem"). Pls help me to solve this. Thanks to all.

Use the function stripslashes()
details at php.net

$message = htmlspecialchars("$message", ENT_QUOTES);
mail("to_email","submit","$message","From: blah");
