That works. Thanks
In reality the quote is coming in from a mysql database and the ones that have
" already are saved.
If my quotation is stored in a variable named $quotation is there a way of
doing a search and replace --- search for " and if it is found replace it with
\" ?

I have a mail() question. Take a look at this sample code below: Pay
attention the $message variable
<?
$to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject="Test e-mail";
$headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$message = "
But prove yourselves doesn't and not only "hears".

I have a mySQL database of quotations that one is randomly being e-mailed
out daily. The trouble is that some quotations have " marks in this such as
the example above. This bit of code doesn't work because the computer is
looking for a ; following the ". Elsewhere in the quotation database there
is the use of ' . Is there a way to do a search and replace for " to ' ?
The e-mails that are sent out are plain text e-mails.
I have used the
$quotation = mysql_real_escape_string($quotation);
to be able to insert quotes with ' into the mySQL table; is there a similar
way to get around this problem I am having?
Thanks :)
Ron
PS It is a really funny e-mail I just wrote and sure is computer in nature
when entire words consist of ; " ' GRIN
