When using fopen to create a file, PHP automatically escapes any quotation marks. How can I get around this? I've looked up stripslashes in the PHP manual but at the moment it's way over my head.
Thanks in advance for any help

it escapes them for a reason. are you sure you want to strip the slashes?
$a=stripslashes($a);
will remove all slashes from $a
umm....
assuming
$a="who's the one who said \"i love you\" first?\nshe's the one.";
then
$a=stripslashes($a);
changes a from
who's the one who said \"i love you\" first?\nshe's the one.
to
who's the one who said "i love you" first?\nshe's the one.

Thanks
The reason I wanted to get rid of them is because the script is writing HTML files based on input from visitors to the website, and the vast majority will include quotation marks at some point.
