[snip] Lets say I have a string: "c:\www\test" I want to insert it into a database, but what ends up getting inserted is: c:wwwtest I can not get php to double the back slashes no matter what I do! $string = str_replace("\\", "\\\\", $string); That is what I want to do, get all single '\' into double '\\'... Any suggestions? [/snip] http://www.php.net/addslashes -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
