String Question

[bgeorgeus]

First of all i am a beginner to PHP and i have a very simple script that writes the contents of a text box with is HTML code to a text file.  The file is then read by another script which displays the output to the screen.

Whenever i use in the text box  ex "<h1>George's House</h1>" it writes "<h1>George\'s House</h1>" to the file leaving annoying backslashes in my web page.  How can i keep the script from writing these backslashes.

My code:

Writing the file



$code = $_POST['text'];

$file = fopen("../index.txt","w");

fwrite($file,"$code");

fclose($file);



Reading the file


$file = fopen("index.txt","r");

while(!feof($file)){

echo fgets($file);
}

Use [url=http://php.net/stripslashes]stripslashes[/url]() when gathering your post data. eg;

[code=php:0]$code = stripslashes($_POST['text']);[/code]

If you turn off magic_quotes_gpc, it won't do that. It's for SQL injection protection for people who write insecure SQL querys.
