I am using this script to edit an HTML file on a web server:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>

<html>
<head>
<title>Editing <? print "$file"; ?></title>
</head>

<body>

<form method=POST action="save_file.php3">

<b><u><? print "$file"; ?></u></b><br><br>

<textarea name="data" rows=10 cols=70>
<?
if (file_exists("$file"))
{readfile("$file");}
?>
</textarea><br><br>

<input type="hidden" name="file" value="<? print "$file"; ?>">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save Changes">

</form>

</body></html>

-----save_file.php3-----

<?

$f = fopen("$file", "w");

fputs($f, $data);

fclose($f);

print "File $file has been amended!";

?>

[/code]

But the problem I am having is that when there are single quotes in the file, they get "escaped" by a backslash. My guess is that I need to enable Magic Quotes at runtime, but how do I do that on my win32 machine in the PHP script? If it's not magic quotes that I need to change then can someone tell me what it is that I need to change. Thanks.

You need to disable magic quotes gpc from your php.ini file, or failing that just use $file=stripslashes($file).
