file_get_contents doesn't do any filtering. The issue your you're probably running into is that magic_quotes_gpc is set to On. This will addslashes to all your data by default. Two options: 1. Turn it off. 2. apply strip_slashes() to the string before writing to disk Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. No, sir.
