note 77139 added to function.addslashes

If you need to make a PHP string literal, addslashes does work for this use because it escapes the double quote mark. This works: $data = "whatever"; $escaped = preg_replace('{([\'\\\\])}', '\\\\$1', $data); $literal = '\'' . $escaped . '\''; ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.95.233.99 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77139 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77139/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77139/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77139/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77139/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77139/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77139/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77139 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77139 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
