$Whateveryoulike = stripslashes($Whateveryoulike);

So, in the case of the Contact Form, you would want (probably):
$Name = stripslashes($Name);
$Email_Address = stripslashes($Email_Address);
$Subject = stripslashes($Subject);
$Comments = stripslashes($Comments);

.. as for the Random quote, where is it suppose to go?

I'll have a go at what you said below once I've sorted out a couple of problems!

$?? = stripslashes($??);

What variable will I have to put into that to strip the slashes?

And there's something within the code for the contact form that doesn't like the page. The random quote at the bottom seems to come out of it's designated cell and is now messing up the page...

It's something to do with the table that the form is stuck in, I just can't find what or where the problem is!

Very nice.

Just thought I'd add something else as well.

You can use a tag and id="xxx" within the for Forums, which allow the user to click on the text to focus on the relevent input. Its not a must, but a nice little addition I believe.

For example, say you have:

Your Name:
E-mail Address:

... adding an id="xxx" to each input tag (while keeping the name=xxx") allows for the to identify it.

Your Name:
E-mail Address:

So, if someone were to click the text 'Your Name:' the focus would be on the Name field, or if they click the 'E-mail Address:' text, the focus goes onto the Email field.

Like I said, not much at all really, but a simple little extra, if you want it.

The cell padding worked great. It looks far better now.

Oooooh, look at that jazzy link I've created!

Gotta sort out the background colour, the scrollbar colour and the general layout slightly. BUt I'm pretty impressed with myself.

Considering it's my first PHP site that I've made...

I haven't done anything to it yet.

I've just ~aquired~ a copy of Dreamweaver MX so I'm having a browse.

Still pretty basic stuff, but it helps with the PHP layouts. I can see what I'm doing without having to upload it.

No, I tried it too and it didn't seem to work. Strange though, as it should do.

Did the cellpadding work at all??

Oh, and you might want to include:

... to change the style of the Error Messages, if you haven't done so already.

Yeah, that's the one.

I'm probably doing something simple and wrong knowing me.

Which one did I send you??

Was it the one with that "if a field is blank, add a load of writing surrounded in a tag" one??

I'll try the cellpadding thingy then.

The
doesn't seem to work. It just leaves a big gap between the title and the text boxes.
