You probably have magic_quotes_gpc in php.ini off on your Windows platform and on on your Linux platform
Magic_quotes_gpc automatically applies addslashes to POST, GET and cookie data if its on. Use stripslashes to remove it or to write code thats portable - write a function like:- function stripData($data) { return ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc') ? stripslashes($data) : $data; } Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Khalid El-Kary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 1:07 PM Subject: [PHP] slashes added before ' > this code snippet: > > function save($file) > { > $my_file=fopen($file,"wb"); > $my_status=fwrite($my_file,$text); > fclose($my_file); > } > > is intended to overwrite a file or create a file and write to it from a > string that's already containing text. > > the problem is the after the script writes the file i find "\" before all > single and double qoutes in the whole file > > this problem occured on red hat linux but in windows it didn't happen. > > can any one help? > > khalid > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
