You shouldn't need to addslashes() if you read from a file, only for string literals, like in your test.
Are the file(s) you're reading in, just text files? If so, try doing your code with the file read commands and you should see you don't need to addslashes() -----Original Message----- From: Manisha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 11:47 AM To: php-general Subject: [PHP] Problem with the double quotes I want to display the content of a file containing double quotes. It is giving me error. I experimented with one small string variable. If I add 'Slash' manually, then it is ok. But addslashes function is not working $str1 = addslashes("this is the " " msg "); This gives me error. But $str1 = addslashes("this is the \" \" msg "); This is ok. Manually adding slah to big file quiet impossible. Is there any good solution for this ? How to convert double quotes of file into \" ?
