Hi all,
ok, I've made my own version of a file manager complete with a text editor, and I'm having troubles figuring out some issues.
I present the text to be edited retrieved from a file in a textarea box for a user to edit, and then POST that to my PHP application, which then saves it to disk.
I have found it to break when the text file has intentional backslashes in it. For instance, if you are editing a perl script, there are a lot of times where you need lots of backslashes in a row.
Does the POST data get urlencoded as it is coming in to the program, and then PHP unencodes it to put it in the variable ? It seems that there is some kind of translation.
I've tried to use addslashes and stripslashes to prevent some of the clobbering of the text, but it doesn't seem to be working. If I don't do anything, it looks like PHP (or HTML) backslashes all quotes...
I just want to get the EXACT text that is in the textarea to be saved to disk...
Here is an example of a line that gets clobbered :
$value =~ tr/\0//d;
I read the file in from disk using file_get_contents. Does that do any translation ???
Any help would be appreciated,
Tim.
