Extra escape character
I use php function file_put_contents() to write text to a file. It works fine in my TxD host but kinda funny on my localhost (XAMPP on Windows XP). It writes extra escape char \ in front of single quote char.
Any hint to cure this would be appreciated.

Re: Extra escape character
It seems that I have to make use of stripslashes() function. I will try that. If it does not work I will post more of what and why here.

Re: Extra escape character
ngungo, where's the text that you are writing originating from? It sounds like a magic_quotes issue.
stripslashes(), while it may work, will cause adverse effects the slashes aren't occurring on all servers.

Re: Extra escape character
juxta,
It does not seem working.
I edited the php.ini then stopped & start Apache. Is that right? What else I have to do?

Re: Extra escape character
Check using phpinfo(); or what Andy mentioned to make sure it is in fact disabling it. I've had a case where I was editing the wrong php.ini before...
Also, if there are any other magic_quote setting turn them off as well. Magic quotes are evil quotes.

Re: Extra escape character
If that is the problem and you can't turn it off here's some code that should compensate:
Code:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_GET = array_map('stripslashes', $_GET);
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes', $_POST);
}

I never had a chance to use the array_map() before. This is my first. Excited. HAHAH!!!
