stripslashes, within a string?

I wanna use a variable within a string. But I need to strip slashes first. I've used this, but it fails...? $email = addslashes($email); // variable from a previous form //Add $email to database $body = "The following E-mail address: " . stripslashes($email); . "Has been recieved"; mail($mailto, $subject, $body); Line 3 give me an error... (Parse error: parse error.....) What monkey mistake am I making? Cheers all Tris...
