JSHINER Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Ok that works for displaying on the page. But when the user hits NEXT to send to me (I receive via email) ... If I type in the form --- Testing "test" All I get in the email from the user is --- Testing \ This is what sends the information to me: ---------------------- msgtxt = " $field1 $field2 "; $header = "To: ".$order_email."\n"; $header .= "From: ".$order_email."\r\n"; $mailresult = @mail("",$subject,$msgtxt,$header); ---------------------- How can I make it so the $field1 will send ALL info regardless of whether or not there are " or ' in it.

JSHINER Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thank you - That works great EXCEPT I have a form - lets call the "your message" field "field1" When I put for a message in field1 (scrolling text box) ------------------- This is a test It isn't "working" yet. ------------------- I use: $field1s = stripslashes(nl2br($field1)); I have it added to the $message = as '.$field1s.' I get this as an email: ------------------- This is a test It isn\'t -------------------- It adds \ in front of all ' and does not display anything in " " or after them.

JSHINER Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 It is a bit lenghty, so I wont paste it all - but I have a form that asks for a few fields, one of them being "desc" which is a scrolling text box. When you click submit, it goes to a "Preview" page where it displays the form results to be checked, with another form using hidden fields, one being: <input type="hidden" name="desc" value="'.$desc.'"> When you click submit on the preview page, it finally goes here: $email_address = "[email protected]"; $to = $email_address; $subject = 'NEW SIGN UP'; $descfin = stripslashes(nl2br($desc)); $message = '<html><body> <table align=center><tr><td align=center> '.$descfin.' </tr></td></table></body></html>'; $your_email_address="[email protected]"; $headers = "From: $your_email_address\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" . "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n" .

Jessica Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Okay try this and let me know what you get: $to = '[email protected]'; $subject = 'NEW SIGN UP'; if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()){ $descfin = stripslashes(nl2br($_POST['desc'])); }else{ $descfin = nl2br($_POST['desc']); } $message = "<html><body>$descfin</body></html>"; $from = '[email protected]'; $headers = "From: $from\r\n" .

JSHINER Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 When I enter: This is a "test" - for $desc, I get: This is a \ - in the email.

Jessica Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Are you adding slashes anywhere via mysql_real_escape_string or addslashes()? Change the if statement I wrote to just this: $descfin = stripslashes(nl2br($_POST['desc'])); I know it's what you had before, but since we changed the quotes on the email maybe that helped... *shrug* Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/38182-help-with-displaying-text/#findComment-183678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSHINER Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 I changed the IF statement to: if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()){ $descfin = stripslashes(nl2br($_POST['desc'])); } Still having the same issue...
