Dir Path, folders with names starting with n issue.

[JMair]

I think this is a php syntax error I'm not doing correctly. Here is the exact path I'm making for individual users. It works for all so far unless the user has a N for the first name, like Nancy Bell.

 

$path = "shared documents of\nbell\Four Agreements\\";

 

I'm guessing this is failing because it's seeing the \n as a function?

 

I've made a work around, but now I'm wondering how I should be solving this problem if a folder name starts with a 'n'?

Escape \n with a backslash ( \ ).

[salathe]

Escape \n with a backslash ( \ ).

 

Or use single quoted strings: see http://php.net/types.string

Or use /

Windows can handle it.

Thanks all. the single quotes didn't work however switching the slashes did. Thanks a ton!
