ok, so whenever i make something that writes data from a form to a file it works but if i was to write,
"Ok it's working"
i would come out
"Ok it/'s working"
how do i stop this and whys it happening?

Are you sure it isn't "Ok it\'s working"? Anyways, just use str_replace("\\'", "'", $formvar);

ye it prob is, thanks

You'll get this problem with other special chars too, not just quotes. Use the PHP function stripslashes() to convert escaped characters back to normal.

$newstring = stripslashes($oldstring);
