PHP writing quotation marks to txt file

how do I stop it writing a forward slash as well

[al1911]

i'm trying to get PHP to write a little bit of code into a text file. I have no problem writing to file (with fwrite), but when I type a quotation mark into the input field containing the text to be written, PHP write the quotation mark preceeded by a forward slash.

eg. " is written into the file as \"

this is disastrous because the text file must be used for content for an html page obviously containing html tags with attributes.

can anyone suggest any ways of solving this?

Try using stripslashes when you write the data:

$fp = fopen(...
fwrite($fp, stripslashes($data));
