Hi!
For simplicty reasons I want to store an entire file path in a field.
Since this is on windows, the \ in the path name causes problems. There
might be also other SQL unfriendly characters in there.
I once came across this and escape the string, but then when using
stripslashes all slashes were gone, including the one that I needed.
Back then I decided to circumvent the issue by constantly rebuilding the
file path from scratch.
This time I don't want to do that (too much work) and wonder how else I
can escape/unescape a file path. I tried a
str_replace("\\", "/", $filepath)
but that appears to be too easy and also does not work as it returns an
empty string.
Anyone has some expert advice? It is greatly appreciated.
David
