"Quotes" in non-MIME email

[AndyatIES]

I'm using a form to send emails from my sites. Simple stuff: name, sender's email, etc. plus message textarea.

I use the PHP mail() facility so the message goes as a string in a variable.

Can I prevent quotes in the user's text coming through as escaped characters, eg:

I like your "email" facility ==> I like your \"email\" facility

or is this a feature I can't avoid without going (presumably) to MIME?

Try stripslashes() to see if this is what you need.

I believe sleiplnir is correct. I have used stripslashes() in the same scenario:

  $to = &quot;$toname <$toemail>&quot;;
       
  /* the message */
  $message .= stripslashes($body);

  /* the subject */
  $subject = &quot;$subj&quot;;
      
  /* the headers */  
  $headers = &quot;From: $name <$email>&quot;;
       
  /* and now for mailling it */
  mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers)
