I am trying to set up a form which will send e-mails for "late breaking news"
and urgent e-mailings.
If I have "Today's news" in the subject line on the e-mail it comes out
with "Today\'s news" --- how can I prevent this from happening?

I tried this:
$sub = "Today's news";
$to = 'tgol@kinetix.gr';
$body = "test";
?>
mail($to,$sub,$body);
And it seems that it works just fine. If you really want help, you
should post the code that is causing you trouble.

Check your magic_quotes_gpc setting, probably on and would be better off. Of
course this may create havoc with database queries if you aren't already
ignoring it and using the appropriate escaping for whatever db you use.

You could look up the PHP function get_magic_quotes_gpc()
When a form is posted, you could do a check like this:
if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
//where $subject contains the subject string and $newsubject is
what you use for the mail
$newsubject =3D stripslashes ($subject);=09
}
This will remove the escape slashes added by the server php settings.
Read magic_quotes_gpc in php reference.
