Hi I have two pages ------------ 1) A form with a rich text box and a submit button. 2) A page which receives the value from the rich text box and emails out to addresses in a column in a table ------------ For the rich text box its default value is a message saying: "Click the link below to download the latest newsletter" and a link which get the file path from a table in the db. Users can then add a message above the link to the newsletter. Now this all works fine except for the link, (and any other links I make using the rich text box), firstly when the form is posted a \ is placed before the ", ie <a href\"url.com.au\">Link</a> which renders the link useless. Someone suggested stripslashes, which I put on the second page where it receives the variable; $_POST['msg'], this did remove the slashes however I then had a problem with spaces in the file path for the newsletter, ie; url.com/testfile.pdf would be sent instead of url.com/test file.pdf which it should be. Then someone suggested urlencode however that encoded the entire message, so they got Click%20the%20link%20below.. If anyone could help I would be most grateful, I want to be able to send these default links from the rich text box as well as allow users to add links in the rich text box. Cheers, Simon
