special characters html/php form

[anderscooter]

Hello, I am trying to submit a form through email, that is then submitted again by the recipient to another person, and again the recipient of that email submits it again to someone else. It all starts with a form and then a separate script sends each email. I have use stripslashes function to remove the slashes when special characters appear - most notably the " . This has been a thorn in my side as everyperson seems to want to put quotations marks into the form. The problem is the first submittal of the form works fine, but after the second submittal of the form with the same information anything after the " is cut off. I am at a loss on how to fix this.

I appreciate any help

Thanks

you want to look at [man]htmlspecialchars[/man]

I'm having a similar problem with quotes in a form. I have a mutli-page little app and if the person puts a word in the first page's text field with a tick, it carries over to the second page just fine. However, going back to the first page, with the previous button I have built, strips the quote and truncates the string so everything after the quote is gone.

I've tried stripslashes and htmlspecialchars, and many combinations of both, and am still having problems. 🙁
