Re: new alsa docs.

[Patrick Shirkey <pshirkey@boosthardware.com>]

Does anybody know how to get all the text from a text area to post when 
it includes " and ' marks?

I am using stripslashes($var) to pass the variable between pages with 
success but when I do the final post if I use "" around the VALUE in the 
input line the text gets cut off at the first " or if I use '' the text 
gets cut off at the first '.

eg.

        <INPUT NAME='note' TYPE='hidden' VALUE="<?echo 
stripslashes($note); ?>">

or

        <INPUT NAME='note' TYPE='hidden' VALUE='<?echo 
stripslashes($note); ?>'>

This is the script I am using to mail the form. I suspect that the mail 
command at the very bottom is fscking it but I'm not sure how I can fix it.
