PHP Read Write File

Oops! I figured it out. Had to strip slashes...

Hello, I have the following code to edit my configuration file in the browser. The file content is retrieved and displayed in a text box. Then the edits are saved back into the file. Everything works fine on my development machine but in my hosting account it does not work.

When I save the file, all single quotes are over written adding a backslash in front of them.

How can I change my code to prevent this? Thank you!

<?php
// button javascript
$save_changes_js = "return confirm('Do you want to SAVE the CHANGE(S)?');";

// open web config
$filename = ROOT_PATH.'web.config.php';
$contents = file_get_contents($filename);

if(isset($_POST['txbConfig']) && !empty($_POST['txbConfig']))
{
    // save changes to file
    $changes = $_POST['txbConfig'];
    file_put_contents($开发者_运维百科filename,$changes);

    // refresh page
    $destination_url = SITE_URL.'admin/edit-config.php';
    header('Location:'.$destination_url);
}
?>

<form action="" method="post" name="editConfig" class="htmlForm">
  <div class="editConfigWrap">
    <textarea name="txbConfig"><?php echo $contents ?></textarea>
  </div>
  <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Save Changes" class="gvbtn" onclick="<?php echo $save_changes_js; ?>">
</form>

This happens because your ISP still has Magic Quotes turned on. Ideally, get them to turn it off or find a way to configure it for your account.

If this can't be done, you need to use stripslashes or equivalent. See this other SO question: How to turn off magic quotes on shared hosting?

You've got 'magic quotes' turned on. They are anything but magic.

You can detect this setting and undo the magic by checking for it with get_magic_quotes_gpc or get_magic_quotes_runtime, e.g.

$value=get_magic_quotes_gpc()?stripslashes($_REQUEST['value']):_REQUEST['value'];
