Hello,

I know very, very little when it comes to PHP. I’ve been using some of the tutes from the Flash section of this site to create Flash/PHP email forms and guest book forms. I’ve noticed that when the users type in their info and use quotes or parentheses it gets parsed as a backslash. I know that this has to do with the way PHP needs to be coded, but is there something I can do to fix this? Something simple I can put into the PHP code or some kind of filter?

Thanks,  
GD
