Slashes in responses

How do I remove the escape slashes that appear in the email response whenever an apostrophe is used? For example, if the site visitor writes in the comment field "the necklace's color" the email response returns "the necklace\'s color".

It looks like you have your magic_quotes settings turned on. You should turn your magic_quotes setting off.

Otherwise you will need to use the stripslashes function.

function.stripslashes.php

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Dani,

Where would I place the stripslashes function in the Contact form php files?

Under the Templates folder, there is a contactus.php page. Open the page and replace line 14 with this:

<?php echo(stripslashes(str_replace("\n","<BR />",$pval))); ?>

I don't have a Templates folder. I do have a contactus.php in the root of the Contact_GMC folder however. Line 14 on that page reads:

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["Contact_Name"]))?$_POST["Contact_Name"]:"") . "",true,1);

Is that what you're telling me to replace with

<?php echo(stripslashes(str_replace("\n","<BR />",$pval))); ?>

Best - Joe

I'm sorry, the template folder is inside the WA_Universal_Email folder.

The line you will be replacing is:

<?php echo(str_replace("\n","<BR />",$pval)); ?>

Thanks, Dani.
