Hi!

Im using a simple PHP-script to write to a textfile.

Problem is I want to include the symbol " into the textfile.

Im using the code:

```php

fwrite($FilePointer, "<a href=".$LinkOne.">".$LinkNameOne."</a>" );

```

And the textfile will display:

```php

<a href=http://www.myLink.com>myLink</a>

```

What I want in the textfile is the following line (including the “”):

```php

<a href="http://www.myLink.com">myLink</a>

```

Thanks

you have to escape the characters using \ so your code would look like this:

```php

fwrite($FilePointer, "\"".$LinkNameOne."\"");

```
