Try adjusting the php.

I use these functions to prepare for a mysql db entry of message text.

    $text = trim(stripslashes($text));
     return htmlentities($text,ENT_QUOTES);

In addition, I remove "dangerous" char, trim to a max length, and check for
a minimum length.

I also do different processing depending on whether it's being feed into a
db or email.

Let us know if something like that works.
