[SOLVED] Backslahes appearing in $message when using mail()

[v12]

Hi everyone,

Wondering if someone could help me out please.
I am using a simple script to mail out on a contact form.

However when it is used and someone fills out a dash or a quote mark, in my email I get backslashes before them.

So for example someone was to write: My name's Fred and you have a "wonderful" website.

It would get sent to looking something like: My name\'s Fred and you have a \"wonderful\" website.

Can someone please tell me how I can get rid of these backslashes?? I have tried str_replace but it just spat out errors.

$to = "$myemailadd";
$subject = "The Subject Line";
$body = "$message";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

Thank you in advance!

Use the stripslashes function:
[PHP]$body = stripslashes($message);[/PHP]

Haha that simple huh?!
I'm sure I tried that out earlier to no avail ...

All sorted. Thank you Ronald. Legend.
