Re: [PHP] Problem with backslashes disappearing
Have you tried escaping the backslash character with another one: \\? On Wed, 2002-03-06 at 06:34, Torkil Johnsen wrote: Hello!

RE: [PHP] Problem with backslashes disappearing
try $new_string=addslashes($old_string); before doing anything else with it. This will prevent from anything removing the \ ' etc because they will all automagically be escaped with that command. When you pull the data back out use: $newer_string=stripslashes($new_string); Dan -Original Message- From: Torkil Johnsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 7:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Problem with backslashes disappearing Hello!
