fwrite() and adding unwanted /

[StuManUSA]

Hi I am using fwrite() -- (in a secured section of the site, mind you), and I am having problems with PHP putting in unwanted slashes

Here is what I am doing:

$featured = "jason's webserver";
$fp = fopen("../myfile.txt", "w");
$fout = fwrite($fp, $featured);

What I get when I fread myfile.txt and print the string into an HTML page is:

"jason\'s webserver"

what gives? How do I stop this?

Thanks in advance.
