creating a string which includes quotation marks

[limessl]

I have a variable that is returned as text, but for the API that I'm integrating it requires the text to be sent back inside quotation marks.

 

So at the moment the code says

 

$valid = "text string"

$req['Request']['OrderRequestParameter']['ValidityPeriod']['Months'] = $valid;

 

so the value being transmitted to the API is text string rather than "text string"

 

note that $valid is actually being created from another variable, so it's not as easy as saying

 

$valid = "/"text string/""

Actually you got the escape slashes the wrong way round they should be backslashes not forward slashes. Why not just use something like...

 

 

$valid = '"'.$valid.'"';
// or 
$valid = "\"{$valid}\"";
