Exporting to a textfile (or any other if better)

programming
19

hey thanx for the awesome help, but after I got to messing w/ it I hit another small problem that my lack on PHP knowledged kept me from fixing… here is my updated file i made to suit me:

<?php
$filename = 'news.txt';
$tag = 'news=';
$somecontent = $_POST['news'];

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {


    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
         print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (!fwrite($handle, $tag)) {
       print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }
    
//    print "news=$tag";
    
    fclose($handle);

    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (!fwrite($handle, $somecontent)) {
       print "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;

    print "news=$somecontent";
    
    fclose($handle);
    
}
    
    print "news=$somecontent";
					
} else {
    print "news=The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>

my prob is that if i enter something into my text box that has an apostrophe of quotation PHP automatically adds the backslash for the obvious reasons… but this messes me up when I try to use my HTML tags or just apostrophe’s in my lil example thing at www.jayhayes.no-ip.com/Jay/crap/thingy.html thanx again guys
