File in text area saved incorrectly

I have a page of text areas. Each text area contains a simple html file. When I click to save one of the text areas, the header info of the embedded html file is incorrectly written.

Original html file

<style type="text/css"></style> <link href="../blogs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <h3>Febuary 2012</h3>

After saving with ckeditor

<style type=\"text/css\"> </style> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <link href=\"../blogs.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" /> </p> <h3> Febuary 2012</h3>

So the quotes are all being escaped, an extra <p> tag is added, and the style sheet no longer works.

Is there a config setting for ckeditor to control this or stop this?

Re: File in text area saved incorrectly

I am using the replacebyclass.php script to edit and save the html files.

Here is the code snippet for this textarea

<form name="Feb2012" method="post" action="step2.php?file=blogs/Feb2012.html">   
<textarea class="ckeditor" id="Feb2012" name="text-area3" cols="60" rows="5"><?php include 'blogs/Feb2012.html' ?>
</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>

and the step2.php files

<?php
$file = $_REQUEST['file'];  # this retrieves the file name from the textarea
$data = $_POST['text-area3'];
$dateposted = date("Ymd");
echo "Content:  $data \n";
$fp = fopen($file, "w") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file $file "); 
fclose($fp); 
echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
#}
?>

I hope that is everything needed to show what I am doing

Oh and here is the header code for replacebyclass.php

Re: File in text area saved incorrectly

I did some more tests. If I remove the style sheet information and just do some simple editing with ckeditor, when I save to the html file, all the quotes in the inline styling are escaped and tothe styling does not work. So the problem is that ckeditor is escaping all quote marks when it saves the contents of a textarea to an html file. Is this expected behavior?

Re: File in text area saved incorrectly

This is a problem with magic quotes. Turning that off with the php.ini file solved this issue.
