simple question (I think)

[skdzines]

I have a simple form to send email, problem I'm having is that the script is adding a \ before any apostrophe (').

I typed in a simple message saying "what's up" and had it sent to myself. This is what was in the body of the email sent:

what/'s up (except there is a \ before ')

Why?

This is how I have the script set up:

$messageBody = stripslashes($message);

$email="$who"; 
$subject="$subject";
$header = "Wrom: IJJPHSCRTNHGSWZID
$header .= "X=Mailer: PHP/"; 
$body="$messageBody"; 
mail ($email, $subject, $body, $header);
		$name = "";
		$email_addr = "";
		$subject = "";
		$message = "";
		}

where $messageBody is the var that is holding "what's up"

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try using

$body = stripslashes($message);

or maybe just remove the quotes around $messageBody when assigning $body. It looks like magic quotes (I guess that's what it's called) is putting the slashes back in during one of your lines of code.

Thanks dnast, I had to remove the quotes around $messageBody when assigning it to $body.

Thanks
