[SOLVED] escaping special characters in php str_replace()

[cunoodle2]

I'm trying to escape the following items..

 

Apostrophe: '

Quotation marks: "

Slash: \

Semicolon: ;

Dollar sign: $

Ampersand: &

 

Does anyone know the proper syntax for this?  I've tried numerous different ways and am still getting errors.  Here is a portion of my code...

 

<?php

$bad = array("\'", "\"", "\", "\;", "$", "&");

?>

 

I keep on getting errors all over the place on the above statement.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks again.

<?php
$bad = array("'", '"', '\\', ';', '$', '&');
?>

should work.

 

Explanation:

"\'" - you shouldn't escape single quotes inside double quotes

"\" - you're escaping the last quote, thus not closing the string. Escape the backslash with another backslash

The rest seems fine.
