You have "magic_quotes_gpc on" and when you amend the file and post, it adds slashes. You need to use

stripslashes()

before outputting the results.

i have this so would it be like...

fwrite($a, <font face=verdana size=2><b>$name</b> : stripslahes($message);</font>
<hr noshade size=1 color=000000>);

?

i got it sorted

i put the following code at the top of the code

$message = stripslashes($message);

works a treat and has solved my prob, thanks very much m8
