To slash or not to slash....

Ok simple problem I hope.


Have the following code, used to store the location and a few details about meeting minutes.

<snip>
		$connection = mssql_connect("server","user","password");
		mssql_select_db("DocumentManager",$connection);
	
		$AlteredMinutesLocation = str_replace("\\","\",$MinutesLocation);

		$SQL_STRING = "INSERT INTO tblMeetingMinutes VALUES('$Date','$Type','$AlteredMinutesLocation','$Centre')"; 

		$Result = mssql_query($SQL_STRING,$connection);
		mssql_close($connection);

</snip>

Problem is the backslashes. When I collect the filepath ($Location) it puts \\ into the db. However, when I change this it stops dead. Basically due to the escape charateristics of the backslash. I can get around this with single quotes of course but can't put these in the SQL_STRING as it falls down there then!

Somebody must have come across this before, any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Craig
