Backslash before forward slash..


Adam

Recommended Posts

Is there a predefined function in PHP for adding backslashes in front of forward slashes? Some kind of regular expression escape function? ... Rather than:

 

str_replace('/', '\/', $str);

 

.. not the prettiest of code! I've done some Googlin' but can't seem to find anything!

 

Thanks,

Adam

Oh no I don't want to use a regular expression to do it, I want to escape a variable for use in a regular expression, if you catch my drift? Like mysql_real_escape_string, but for regular expressions.. But more specifically to convert '/' to '\/'.. I was just wondering really if there was a predefined function for this.

 

I have to get off now but I'll take a look into addcslashes() later on..

 

Cheers!

Adam
