Hello, Fairly new to php (3 days now!). I'm trying to write a little script that'll write to a file from a textbox. Links will be necessary in the textbox but when the file is made the output becomes this: [code]<a href=\"lalala.txt>lalala</a>[/code] I need to get rid of that backslash but slipslashes() doesn't seem to work. Here's the code I have to write a new file: [code] <?php chdir("info"); //change dir to info $ourFileName = "$filename"; //get text input $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file"); //make file fclose($ourFileHandle); $fh = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = $sup; //get textbox input fwrite($fh, $stringData); //write to file fclose($fh); ?> [/code] Any help would be great :D
