string ops

[moehome]

hey ya,
I have some text that contains " and ´ symbols,
since I´d like to process these files as strings, I need to add a \ before with addslashes, but when I try to do so, I need to define the string, which doesn´t work, since parts of the text are ignored or I get some parse-errors

you know how to solve that problem??

how do you get this string?
is it in a variable? or an sql result? or a http post?
if it is hardcoded, yust add the backslashes by hand

hmm, just a bloody txt-file, but about 1000 pages!

that link should answer your question:

:P

so long

[sami]

but you read the file, e.g. by file() or gets(), don´t you?
in this case it would be in a variable then.
