Seems that var_export() strips slashes from my array keys even though the
docs say that it returns valid PHP code. This is bad if I want to use $b
below to define another array, gives a parse error on the single quote in
the key.
$a = array('it\'s here' => 'single, \' double "');
$b = var_export($a, TRUE);
echo $b;
Displays:
array ( 'it's here' => 'single, \' double "', )
And:
$c = eval($b);
generates a parse error in the eval'ed code.
Any help???
TIA,
