Quotes and Forms

[Tammyy]

Hi, I'm somewhat new to PHP, so I hope this question hasn't been asked too many times before on this list.
I’ve created an online email form using PHP (http://www.bluedotwalking.com/html/contact.php). I only have one issue: if the user submits an email that uses quotation marks or apostrophes it shows up with a slash mark before it in an email. E.g. here\'s the \"message\"!

Is this a common problem? Is there a solution?
Please help ASAP!
Thanks.

Just type in <?=striplashes($message)?> or check the function stripslashes on php.net

This is my code that I use for processing my form:
<?php

$to = "[e-mail]";

$extra = "From: $emailAddr\r\nReply-To: $emailAddr\r\n";
$mess = "Message from: ".$name."\n\n".$message." \n\n\n\n\n\nIP Address(".$REMOTE_ADDR.") Browser and OS(".$HTTP_USER_AGENT.")";

mail ($to, $subject, $mess, $extra);

echo("<center>Thank you. Your message has been sent. We look forward to receiveing your mail and getting back to you as soon as possible.<br><br><a href=\"".$HTTP_REFERER."\">Click here to return to Contact Us.</a></center>\n");

?>

Where in the above would I post the "stripslashes" line of code?

Ok

<?php

$to = "[e-mail]";

////////////

$name = stripslashes($name);
$message = stripslashes($message);

////////////////

$extra = "From: $emailAddr\r\nReply-To: $emailAddr\r\n";
$mess = "Message from: ".$name."\n\n".$message." \n\n\n\n\n\nIP Address(".$REMOTE_ADDR.") Browser and OS(".$HTTP_USER_AGENT.")";

mail ($to, $subject, $mess, $extra);

echo("<center>Thank you. Your message has been sent. We look forward to receiveing your mail and getting back to you as soon as possible.<br><br><a href=\"".$HTTP_REFERER."\">Click here to return to Contact Us.</a></center>\n");

?>
