Email Form and " ' symbols

[acroporas]

I have a "contact me" form.  The user fills in the from, clicks submit and I have Php email it to me.  Here's the code I use to send the email.

 

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["from"];
mail($MyEmailAddress,$_POST["Subject"],$_POST["body"],$headers);

 

This works fine, in that it sends me the email.  However when there are " or ' symbols in the message, they are sent as \" or \'

 

Why does this happen, and how do I fix it so that the email recieved shows " and '.

 

Also, are there other symbols that I will discover later on don\'t work either.

stripslashes() should do just what you need.
