Re: addslashes ()

Hi Senthil: > i have a problem . i want to add slashes to my string > $a = senthil ...i want it like 'senthil' > > i did $a=addslashes($a); > but nothing worked .. > 1.i have magic quotes = off.. > 2.is there a way to print ' and " addslashes() does what it's name says: it adds slashes. You want to add quotes. That's a whole different story. I'm not sure exactly what your goal is, but you can try this: $a = "senthil"; # Initial value. $a = "\'$a\'"; # Add single quote to beginning and end of $a.
