Question

All I’m trying to do is to get xml file content, show is in the textarea and update the file content if the for is submited. I use this code:

$fname = "../data.xml";

if (isset($_POST["update"])) {
 $content = $_POST["update"];
 $fhandle = fopen($fname,"w");
 fwrite($fhandle,$content);
}

$fhandle = fopen($fname,"r");
$content = fread($fhandle,filesize($fname));

fclose($fhandle);

The content is updated when I press submit but it adds slashes to quotes. For example this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

becomes:

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>

and if I re-submit:

<?xml version=\\"1.0\\" encoding=\\"utf-8\\"?>

Can anyone please tell what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

This is an issue with Magic Quotes, we ran into it as well. Use stripslashes() on the POST input before doing anything with it.
