I'm using fread to insert the contents of a given file into a textarea. Like this:

Code:

$handle = fopen($filename, "r"); $contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));   echo "<textarea>".$contents."</textarea>

The problem is that when I submit textarea, php sends it with backslashes before any quotation marks in $content. and escapes other backslashes, etc. For example,

Code:

echo "<div style=\"text-align:right;\" id=\"header\">

becomes

Code:

echo \"<div style=\\\"text-align:right;\\\" id=\\\"header\\\">

I need to keep baskslashes etc. from the original file, and not send the new ones. How do I do this?
