RE: [PHP] Why???

The / is coming from $topic, how do I use stripslashes to remove / . Can someone give me an example how to code it? Here is my original PHP script: <? $to = "xxxxxxx@xo.com"; $subject = "Update"; $message = "The following Webpage is added or updated:\n\nDate: $date\nEquipment : $equipment\nTopic: $topic\nURL: $url"; $mail_header = "From: $email"; mail( $to, $subject, $message, $mail_header ) or print "Could not send mail"; print ("<HTML>\n"); print ("<HEAD>\n"); print ("<TITLE>$title</TITLE>\n"); print ("</HEAD>\n"); print ("<BODY BACKGROUND=\"images/bkgrnd.jpg\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n"); print ("<H3>Thank you. Your submission has been sent. <br><br><A HREF=\"index.h tml\">Back</A> to Home Page.\n"); print ("</BODY>\n"); print ("</HTML>"); ========================================================== -----Original Message----- From: John Vanderbeck [mailto:agathorn@cfl.rr.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 10:07 AM To: Nguyen, David M; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Why??? I can help you there, as I had the same problem until someone else helped me. This is because PHP will escape the input it gets. I think this is dependant on some enviroment setting, but I can't recall which one. To fix it you call stripslashes($var); - John Vanderbeck - Admin, GameDesign ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nguyen, David M" <david.m.nguyen@xo.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 11:02 AM Subject: [PHP] Why??? > Hi all, > > I have a PHP web form setup for user to fill in information then email it to > me after pressing SUBMIT button.
