Re: fread question

PHP does *not* do the addslashes on $_POST when you cram something into it in your PHP code. It does it during the process of auto-filling up $_POST. So either: A) you have magic_quotes_runtime turned on LOCALLY. Use phpinfo() to see. B) you actually managed to put the backslashes into your text file. PS You really shouldn't be cramming data into $_POST, imho. Too confusing for later development/maintenance. $_POST should be "read only" Copy the parts of $_POST you want into something else, and add in your file contents as well.
