Strings escaped in the mail inbox

[dbarasuk]

Hi,

Below is the code used to send an email.

However when I open the message sent by PHP, I realize that the single quotes are being escaped and I don't know how to change that from the source code.

For example if I write you'll enjoy, the output is you\'ll enjoy

this is the code:

<?php
include('../includes/connection.inc.php');
if(array_key_exists('sendmail', $_POST)) {

// define connection object
$darconn = dbconnect('Admin');
// define the sql query
$sql = "SELECT email FROM friends";
// execute query
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Unsuccessful database connection");
// retrieve row

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH)) {
$to = $row['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$Message = strip_tags(trim($_POST['sentmail']));
$headers = "FROM: [e-mail]";
$message=Array();
// prevent sending a message when fields are empty
if(empty($to) or empty($Message)or empty($headers) or empty($subject)){
$message = "Please, be aware that one or more fields were not filled in.";
}
else {

// send the email
$sendmail=mail($to, $subject, $Message, $headers);

if($sendmail) {
$message = "The newsletter was successfully sent to $to";
}
else {
$message ="There was an error sending the newsletter to $to, try again!";
}

}

}


}




?>

Also, as the $to is enclosed in the while loop, I expected to get a list of all the mails to which the message was sent to, but i get a confirmation message only for the last mail on the list. How can I understand that and also change it from my source code so that I get a list of all the mails to which the message was sent to and not only the sole mail of the list.

Any help?

regards,
dbarasuk

It seems you have your 'magic quotes' (magic_quotes_gpc) enabled.

You can however easily remove slashes using the function:

stripslashes($variable);
