note 82009 added to language.types.string

For anyone who reads Evan K, please note that: // a string to test, and show the before and after $before = 'Quantity:\t500\nPrice:\t$5.25 each'; $after = expand_escape($before); var_dump($before, $after); Is identical to (note all I added was a backslash before $): $before = "Quantity:\t500\nPrice:\t\$5.25 each"; var_dump($before); So its definitely better to escape a dollar instead of all the overhead of his regex and evals and such, although clever completely unnecessary. -Chris ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 64.202.160.65 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82009 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82009/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82009/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82009/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82009/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82009/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82009/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82009 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82009 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
