HuggieBear Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Use two backslashes.... The first will escape the second. Regards Huggie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71355-preg-replace-help/#findComment-359024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00ker_b0y Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 hey, tried that! $campaign = "ebook\'s"; $campaign = preg_replace('\\','',$campaign); dont work tho Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71355-preg-replace-help/#findComment-359028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggieBear Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 You still need pattern delimeters in there... <?php $campaign = "ebook\'s"; $campaign = preg_replace('/\\/', '', $campaign); ?> More importantly though, where did the slash come from? In this instance where has ebook\'s come from? As PHP has functions for dealing with slashes. e.g stripslashes() Regards Huggie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71355-preg-replace-help/#findComment-359031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
