loading text file with fopen - single and double quotes need to be encoded?
Hi I have simple text file that I am loading with fopen() but when I do the single and double quotes are change to odd looking characters. I recognize the problem as URL encoding but nothing seems to work. What am I missing?

Here you go:
****PHP code that loads the text file and converts each line into an element in an array and then displays a random line.*************
<?php
$file_handle = fopen("http://dev.my.com/mod/my_theme/views/default/my1_pages/slogans.txt", "r") or die ("Unable to open file!");
$counter = 0;
while (!feof($file_handle)) {
$line_of_text = fgets($file_handle);
$sloganArray[$counter] = $line_of_text;
$counter++;
}
$randomNum = rand(1, 63);
print $sloganArray[$randomNum];
fclose($file_handle);
?>
********the text I am opening***********
Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I feel like my1
Id walk a mile for my1

Its actually the apostrophe that is loading wired and the above lines of text show the problem. ^

ok got it - it was not an apostrophe, or at least one on my keyboard. so I selected and do a search & replace with a normal apostrophe and all is well.
