stripslashes is only for back slashes only to prevent quoted strings. But there is also other text replacement functions out there. my favorites are strtr and str_replace Plus in those functions you still need to save the results in a variable or they are not going to stay.

I would do it like this:

PHP Code:

//now lets pull out the tmp data (old data) 
$ctoaddtmp = file_get_contents("../DOCS/originalsLISTtmp.txt"); 
//now input the old data to the file 
$ctoadd3 = str_replace(array('/', '\\'), '', $ctoaddtmp . $displaytext);
$myoldfile = "../DOCS/originalsLIST.txt"; 
file_put_contents($myoldfile, $ctoadd3);
