After you've pasted the code, highlight the part within the $body = " .....pasted HTML...... ", then replace " with \" If you're getting info from a form where the may have typed in a quotation mark, before doing anything else with the variable use addslashes ($FormVariable) to automatically add escape slashes to quotations and other offending characters.
