[Resolved] removing slashes from variable in mailto function

[cubsie]

i've set up a flash mail form using the mailto function to grab input variables out of the flash form and send them to me.

any time someone types an apostrophe in the form, it comes to me as something like this ... i'/m or don'/t

is there any way to remove those slashes?

[man]stripslashes()[/man]

here's what i've got...probably the easiest php command...

mail("$fmrecipientsemail","$fmsubject","$fmmessage","FROM:$fmsendersemail\nReply-To: $fmsendersemail\n");

$fmmessage is the variable from which i want to strip the slashes.

so in order to use the stripslashes() command, do i need to insert it before the mail command like this?

<?php

stripslashes("$fmmessage");

mail("$fmrecipientsemail","$fmsubject","$fmmessage","FROM:$fmsendersemail\nReply-To: $fmsendersemail\n");

?>

thanks for your patience

Almost there... You just need to assign the output of the function to a variable. In this case, I just assigned it back to it's original name. (That's usually how I do it, so I don't have a ton of variables I don't need)

<?php 

$fmmessage = stripslashes($fmmessage); 

mail("$fmrecipientsemail","$fmsubject","$fmmessage","FROM:$fmsendersemail\nReply-To: $fmsendersemail\n"); 

?>
