Why are there loads of PHP & MySQL tutorials and no ASP.NET tutorials?

It wasn’t working for me until I realized that I had magic quotes on, which was making the json invalid. I modified the writefile() function in json.db and got it working. Below is my update.
function write_file ($path, $jsonstr) {
$stream = fopen($path, ‘w’);
$jsonstr = stripslashes($jsonstr);
fwrite($stream, $jsonstr);
}

Why are their no comments in with the code? I am having a hard time figuring out what is going on.
