Hi all.

Just one question about the addslashes(); and stripslashes(); function.

When I use the addslashes($Message); to look into the String and add the to any " or ' that might be present, instead of getting just the one slash, I get 3.

When using the stripslashes($Message); to remove the from any " or ' that might be present, I am still left with one remaining slash.

Does anyone know why this is the case. I've completly forgoten how to get around this??

Thanks.

Ah, I see. Remove the addslashes() function from the code and it's working :).

Thanks Rob.

Your server has MagicQuotes GPE set in its config, which means it automatically does addslashes() to stuff sent by GET, POST and whatever E stands for. So, in effect, you're doing it twice.
