This is probably a simple question for a PHP guru, but I couldn’t find the answer to my question using Google.

Anyways, here’s the deal:

The idea is that the user can modify the pages of his flash-site using a very simple PHP thingy I made. His flash website imports HTML from TXT-files.  
The problem I’m having is that PHP adds backslashes here and there in the HTML code, which flash cannot read. So now, I’m trying to _remove_ all the backslashes from the string before updating the TXT-file.

```auto
str_replace("\","",$string);

```

^ That didn’t work. Any ideas? Pretty please? 🙂

Thanks in advance!
