-Summary: writing a backslash in a variable doesn't appear
Reported By: mail at siegfried-bauer dot de
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Strings related
Operating System: Linux, kernel 2.6.16.13-4
PHP Version: 5.2.0
New Comment:
the problem is:
fread calls addslashes after reading the file.
fwrite calls stripslashes before writing the file.
fprintf neither doesn't call stripslashes nor addslashes.
so, when using fwrite you have to escape a \ four times.

try perl an d you receive what you will expect!
#!/usr/bin/perl
printf("This is a \\\n");
my $a=sprintf("\\");
printf("var \$a contains %s\n",$a);

------------
can't write a backslash into a variable.
Reproduce code:

<?
$fp=fopen("out", "w");
printf("Hello World!\n with \\ one \\\n");
$s=sprintf("Hello World!\n with \\ one \\\n");
fwrite($fp, $s);
fclose($fp);
$fp=fopen("out2", "w");
fprintf($fp, "Hello World!\n with \\ one \\\n");

out2 yet.
