PHP, why do you escape my quotes? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you can not get magic quotes switched off for your server, then you need to check if it is switched on using get_magic_quotes_gpc() and if it is true, stripslashes().

Answer 2

You should disable magic_quotes in your php.ini configuration file. However if this is not possible you can also use the stripslashes() function to get rid of the automatic escaping.

Answer 3

you probably have magic quotes enabled, only two things you can do. disable magic quotes in your php.ini or call stripslashes() on $_GET and $_POST globals.

FYI, use $_GET['contents'] as opposed to $contents; newer versions of php will not create the $contents var.

Answer 4

Try this:

file_put_contents($url, stripslashes($contents));

Answer 5

Looks like you have magic_quotes turned on.

If that is the case, either turn it off - Or use a runtime disabling function

Answer 6

Turn magic_quotes off in PHP.ini.
