Slashes in emails?

[mako1200]

Ok.....I have a new question...

When I send a email using the mail() function, anytime there is a apostrophe, it is sent with an escape character:

isn't --> isn\'t

Is there something I need to do before the email is sent to prevent this? Or does this depend on the mail application the server is using?

you can strip the slashes of the contents with the function stripslashes

I thought about using that too.....but what if the email acutally contained legit slash characters?

Thanks for your help, Doppy...=>

That function will only remove slashes that are used to escape characters that come after it.
If there is another character it will not be removed.

Another point, if you're message is filled with slashes, then somehow php has run addslashes on it, so you can undo that with stripslashes.
