Most of these are probably software/configuration errors. 1. Use the stripslashes() function to remove those slashes. It does this to escape the apostrophes and quotes.
2. What were you using to encrypt your passwords before? 3. Does your server have smtp running on port 25? I think it needs to be before php can send e-mails.
