Problems with backslash: Using PHP for shell-scripting seems to require a quad-escape for
backslashes. Example: system("mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx,uid=xxx
\\\\\\\\SERVER\\\\drive ./mnt");
The string delived to "mount" is "\\SERVER\drive". So the PHP-parser needs a
backslash for every backslash and system() needs it again.
Hope this helps someone!
