Re: Bug(?) in quotes and \ escaping

Quote from: http://www.php.net/manual/language.types.string.php The second way to delimit a string uses the single-quote ("'") character. When a string is enclosed in single quotes, the only escapes that will be understood are "\\" and "\'". This is for convenience, so that you can have single-quotes and backslashes in a single-quoted string. Variables will not be expanded inside a single-quoted string.

Is this a bug?

$l = '\';     <--- syntax error,
                   in the next line as the string is not terminated(!)
$l = '\\'     <--- correct, $l is assigned the value of a single \

I thought that only double-quotes (") interpret what's inside them. The goal here is to assign $l a single baskslash char.
