Re[2]: [PHP-WIN] Backslashed Quotes

Quite true, I'll play psychic <8-O and give it a guess: you might be trying to call some filename or something like that using backslahes, windows-style. Since in win you need these backslashes, which are the standard "escape" character in php, to "write" a backslash you first have to escape, and then specify the backslash, just as if you want to quote inside an echo or a variable definition you write: echo "Hello \"world\""; //to quote "world" $foo="Great and most \"venerated\" bar"; // quote "venerated" So if you want to specify a path or so, you escape first: $path="c:\\mydir\\myfile"; // result: "c:\mydir\myfile" Did I guess right?
