Slashes In Email

[Sharif]

I have this function here that is used to send a newsletter. The problem, slashes for quotes stay in the message for some reason. Everything else works except the slash thing. Here it is:

//sends newsletter
function mail_newsletter($code, $type, $email, $issue, $data)
{
	//recipent 
	$to = $email;

//message
$message = stripslashes($data);

//if sending new
if($code == 01)
{
	//subject
	$subject = 'Newsletter Issue #' . $issue;

	//headers
	if($type == 01) //text version
	{
		$from = 'From: Newsletter <' . DOMAIN . '>';
	}
	else //html version
	{
		$from = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
		$from.= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
		$from.= "To: <" . $to . ">\r\n";
		$from.= "From: Newsletter <" . DOMAIN . ">\r\n";
	}

	$headers = $from;

	//attempt to email
	if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
	{
		return false;
	}
	else
	{
		return true;
	}
}
//if resending one
elseif($code == 02)
{
	//subject
	$subject = 'Newsletter #' . $issue . '(UPDATE)';

	//headers
	if($type == 01) //text version
	{
		$from = 'From: Newsletter <' . DOMAIN . '>';
	}
	else //html version
	{
		$from = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
		$from.= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
		$from.= "To: <" . $to . ">\r\n";
		$from.= "From: Newsletter <" . DOMAIN . ">\r\n";
	}

	$headers = $from;

	//attempt to email
	if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
	{
		return false;
	}
	else
	{
		return true;
	}
}
else
{
	return false;
}
}

Sounds like magic_quotes_gpc is on

Try this function

function strip_magic_quotes($arr) {

foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
  if (is_array($v)) { 
    $arr[$k] = strip_magic_quotes($v); 
  } else { 
  $arr[$k] = stripslashes($v); }
}

return $arr;
  }

You ill need to modify it a little for your use it was mainly to be used with things such as $GET, $POST etc.

Stupid magic quotes, can I turn them off globally?

[planetsim]

if you have access to the php.ini file yes if not you have to ways if they are allowed by the server

.htaccess

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

or

in php

ini_set('magic_quotes_gpc','0');

[Sharif]

I could try the .htaccess thing. Will it work if safe_mode is on?

Ok just used the ini_set() thing, it still has slashes.
