Question

i am trying to echo a html files contents from a php script. Quite simple implementation

$response=file_get_contents("second.html");

echo $response;

When i hit the html file directly all the content seems ok but when i get the echoed string it is different, The html contains javascript with utf8 strings and escape characters. It seems that “echo” is changing the string because i tried saving the $response string in a second html file and that appears ok also. My question is, is there a way to just plainly give the string with no processing.

Also it seems the echoed html works on firefox, but not on chrome, the file html works on both.

What do you get if you do:

var_export(get_magic_quotes_gpc());

Is it on? (true)

If so:

or

$response = stripslashes(file_get_contents("second.html"));
