stripslashes in form

[phpandy123]

Hi!

 

I have tried to use stripslashes in a simple test form but my code doesn't remove the backslashes. Why?

 

<?php
$subject = trim(stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['subject'])));
$firstname = trim(stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['firstname'])));

$emailTo = "mymail"; 
mail("$emailTo", "$subject", "$firstname");

?>

If your incoming form data has backslashes in it that you aren't putting there, make sure magic_quotes_gpc is off in you your php.ini file.
