Check your PHP.INI file for settings related to automatic escaping of characters. And, uh, you say it's a forward slash like '/', but are you sure they aren't backslashes like '\'? I've never heard of forward slashes getting added. Are you positive that the text files don't have the slashes? If not, then it has something to do with magic quotes, perhaps magic_quotes_runtime.
