fwrite trouble

[matthewst]

I have this code:

<select name="header" size="1">
        <option value="">-- Select a header image --</option>
        <option value="<?php echo "<img src='../../styles/BBQ1.jpg'>" ?>">BBQ 1</option>
        <option value="<?php echo "<img src='../../styles/BBQ2.jpg'>" ?>">BBQ 2</option>
        <option value="<?php echo "<img src='../../styles/BBQ3.jpg'>" ?>">BBQ 3</option>
        <option value="<?php echo "<img src='../../styles/Garden1.jpg'>" ?>">Garden 1</option>
        <option value="<?php echo "<img src='../../styles/Gray1.jpg'>" ?>">Gray 1</option>
        <option value="<?php echo "<img src='../../styles/Wine1.jpg'>" ?>">Wine1</option>
        </select>

pointing to this code on another page:

$stringData = "<table width='60%' height='95%' border='0'><tr><td colspan='2' align='center' height='75px'>$header";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);

it keeps adding backslashes to the string:

<table width='60%' height='95%' border='0'><tr><td colspan='2' align='center' height='75px'><img src=\'../../styles/BBQ3.jpg\' />

right after src= and right after bbq3.jpg

Any one know where they're coming from?

You probably have "magic quotes" enabled on your server, and, thus, will have to run your string data through the strip_slashes() function.

Hope that help.s

$header = stripslashes($header)
