That is more correct than nimrod leahvi's answer, but it is still wrong. For instance, if an apostrophe (') was encountered, line 1 will return \', but line 2 will return \\'. You need to put the backslash-replacement line first before any other add-backslash-to-special-character as follows: str_repalce("\\", "\\\\", $str) (1) // <--- this line must be first str_repalce("\'", "\\\'", $str) (2) str_repalce("\"", "\\\"", $str) (3) In this case, when " and ' are encountered, lines 2 and 3 will return \' and \", respectively. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34981 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34981&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34981&report=yes
