Need to remove escape (backslash)

[cassbiz]

I am using the below script to open a file and rewrite it. When it rewrites it adds backslashes because magic_quotes_on on any text that contains a single or double quote.

<?php
if($_POST['edit'])  {
        $filename  =  $_POST['file'];
        $handle  =  fopen($filename,  "r");
        $contents  =  fread($handle,  filesize($filename));
        echo  "<form  method=\"post\"  action=\"coupon_edit.php?area=edit\">
         <strong>$filename</strong><br>
         <input  type=\"hidden\"  name=\"file\"  value=\"$filename\">
         <textarea  name=\"content\"  cols=\"60\"  rows=\"20\">".$contents."</textarea><br>
          <input  type=\"submit\"  name=\"update\"  value=\"Update\">
                                </form>";
        fclose($handle);
}  elseif($_POST['update'])  {
        $filename  =  $_POST['file'];       
        if(is_writable($filename))  {
                $handle  =  fopen($filename,  "w+");
                fwrite($handle,  $_POST['content']);
                fclose($handle);               
                echo  "File:  <strong>".  $filename  .  "</strong>  edited  successfully.<br><a  href=\"$PHP_SELF\">Edit    
More  Files</a>";
        }  else  {
                echo  "Error!  <strong>".  $filename  .  "</strong>  File  may  not  be  writable.";
        }      
}  else  {
        echo  "<form  method=\"post\"  action=\"$PHP_SELF\">
                                        File:  <input  type=\"text\"  name=\"file\"><br>
                                        <input  type=\"submit\"  name=\"edit\"  value=\"Edit\">
                                </form>";
}
?>

The output for the file is:

@sc_discount_logic = (\"1009||||5%\", \"1500||||5.00\");

What I need is:

@sc_discount_logic = ("1009||||5%", "1500||||5.00");

I have tried stripslashes but the output is being used by a perl file.

Thanks in advance

try like this for echo the form elements.

[PHP]echo '<form method="post" action="coupon_ edit.php?area=e dit">';[/PHP]

This doesn't directly relate to your problem, but you might like this.

[PHP]echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"coupon _edit.php?area= edit\">
<strong>$filena me</strong><br>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"file\" value=\"$filena me\">
<textarea name=\"content\ " cols=\"60\" rows=\"20\">".$ contents."</textarea><br>
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"update\" value=\"Update\ ">
</form>";[/PHP]

can be rewritten as:

[PHP]
echo <<<EOF
<form method="post" action="coupon_ edit.php?area=e dit">
<strong>$filena me</strong><br>
<input type="hidden" name="file" value="$filenam e">
<textarea name="content" cols="60" rows="20">$cont ents</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="update" value="Update">
</form>
EOF;
[/PHP]

There is a stripslashes() function that removes slashes from user input.

OK ! Great ! the stripslashes worked.

Now I have another issue :(

the output should be

@sc_discount_logic = ("1009||||5%", "1500||||5.00");

and it is

".@sc_discount_logic = ("1009||||5%", "1500||||5.00");."

So I changed the string from

<textarea  name="content"  cols="60"  ows="20">".$contents."</textarea><br>

to

echo  <<<EOF

<form  method="post"  action="coupon_edit1.php?area=edit">
<strong>$filename</strong><br>
<input  type="hidden"  name="file"  value="$filename">
<textarea  name="content"  cols="60"  rows="20">
EOF;

echo $contents;

echo <<<EOF

</textarea><br>
<input  type="submit"  name="update"  value="Update">
</form>

EOF;

and though the file is writing correctly, the error message "Error! File may not be writable." is coming up.

Any hints as to why?

I figured it out.

I thank all of you
