[thelist] Funky php output...I owe a tip or two...

[Jeanne Pelletier]

You need to strip the slashes from $_POST[message];
So you can do that at any point that is convienent- for example:


 if ($send != "no") {
 $msg ="E-MAIL SENT FROM lobowalk.com \n";
        $msg .="Sender's Name:$_POST[sender_name]\n";
      $msg .="Sender's E-Mail:$_POST[sender_email]\n";
        $msg .="Message:".stripslashes($_POST[message]);."\n \n";
