You have magic_quotes on, with this setting php runs addslashes() on every $_REQUEST variable (so you can use them in sql queries right away). So you need to use stripslashes() before sending it as mail.

I have a text box on a web page and submit button.  The php code sends the
text as an email.  If the text includes an inverted comma/apostrophe the
email will include a backslash before it, thus: \'.  I know how to
str_replace in php, but what do I need to replace the apostrophe with to
avoid the \?  The HTML for ' is ' if that helps.  I've looked at ASCII
in google, but am unenlightened.  Can't find the answer in php.net under
mail() function either.
