php mail issue

[txprogrammer]

I have a form where the user enters a dollar amount (ex. $2000). I collect all the info from the form and email to the site owner, but when they get the email the $2000 shows as \$2000. I have tried the stripslashes after the entire message has been built, but it does not seem to work. See code sample below. Any suggestions? 😕

build message loop....
$message .= "<b>$incoming_fields[$i]:</b> $incoming_values[$i] <br>";
....end loop

$message = stripslashes($message);

header stuff...

mail(....., $message, ...);
