ohboyatoytruck Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi there, I am getting this in a PHP generated email: ACWA Member/Subscriber: Melody’s Children’s Service The line of code in the php is: $subject = "ACWA Member/Subscriber: $membername"; I have tried htmlentitiies, html_entity_decode, htmlspecialchars but nothing seems to work. I haven't used htmlentities anywhere else in the code for this variable. Any suggestions? All advice gratefully received.

ohboyatoytruck Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 And how about the rest of your code? Rest of the code is good but there are no other instances of apostrophes so not sure if that helps much.
