I don't want to escape single quote...

[cgm225]

I want to echo:      C:\public_html\media\photos\thumbnails\

 

 

However, if I try the following, it escapes the last single or double quote..

 

echo 'C:\public_html\media\photos\thumbnails\';

 

How do I echo that path?

[MadTechie]

echo "C:\\public_html\\media\\photos\\thumbnails\\";

 

you could use addslashes

[cgm225]

There is no better way to do that?

[DarkWater]

Yeah, there is.  Don't use Windows. =P

[MadTechie]

you can use str_replace, or addslashes,

 

if you want to display an image you shouldn't be using / anyway (thats windows servers only) \ is unix and windows

 

so

echo "C:/public_html/media/photos/thumbnails/";

should work better

 

what are you trying to do ?

[craygo]

$path = addslashes('C:\public_html\media\photos\thumbnails\\');
echo stripslashes($path);

 

Another anti windows!

 

Windows will actually work with back slashes or forward slashes.

 

you have to escape the last slash because it is in front of a quote

erm, you should escape all of them

ie /t = tab

$path = addslashes("C:\public_html\media\photos\thumbnails\\");

 

EDIT: Ahh unless you use single quotes, (missed that)
