I have created a php page that accepts a variable called $file using GET. It
then displays this in a textarea box. You can then edit the file and click a
button to save it and it POSTS it to the same page (edit.php) on the server.
This works but it adds slashes before any speech marks (""). Can somebody
help me with this.
Below is an example of how it changes the code and the code for the page
edit.php

<body>
<div class="heading">Delete A File</div>

The edit.php page source:

$edit=false;
$save=true;
}
elseif(isset($file)){
$fp = fopen("$file", "rb") or die("Could not open file!");
$contents = fread($fp, filesize($file)) or die("Could not read file!");
fclose($fp) or die("Could not close file!");
$edit=true;
$save=false;
}
else{
$edit=false;
$save=false;
}
//End Pages PHP Here
