[PHP] Escaping double quotes
So I'm writing this page (PHP Newbie here) and it checks to see if a var is set, if it isn't it spits out the form info like so: echo form action=myform.php method=post; Now is there a way to 'wrap' that so I don't have to escape quotes? Something like perls 'qq' function is what I'm looking for. I tried a few different functions from the website, magic_quotes, addslashes, htmlspecial etc etc but none did what I was looking for Jeremy Pavleck Network Engineer - Systems Management IT Networks and Infrastructure Direct Line: 612-977-5881 Toll Free: 1-888-CAPELLA ext. 5881 Fax: 612-977-5053 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Capella University 225 South 6th Street, 9th Floor Minneapolis, MN 55402 www.capella.edu -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You know you can switch the php parser on and off like so:
?php if (isset($var)) { ?
form action=myform.php method=post
?php } ?
which is a bit more efficient and better than all those echo statements and
escapes?

Re: [PHP] Escaping double quotes
Not sure I understand your question correctly. I think you can just use soemthing like: echo 'form action=myform.php method=post'; Mindaugas L wrote: or heredeoc syntax :) On 5/25/06, John Nichel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Pavleck, Jeremy D. wrote: So I'm writing this page (PHP Newbie here) and it checks to see if a var is set, if it isn't it spits out the form info like so: echo form action=myform.php method=post; Now is there a way to 'wrap' that so I don't have to escape quotes?

[PHP] Escaping double quotes?
How do you escape double quotes? I have the following which is
supposed to make any " in a string into \" but it doesn't seem to
work. What's wrong with it?
$tmp_string = str_replace ("\"", "\\\"", $tmp_string);
