Hello, Jack! Special characters have a functional meaning to MySQL(and compilers as well). It is necessary to escape them for any other purpose than the host enviroments function. In MySQL \ is an escape character therefore, if you need to pass \ as a string you must escape it \\ . There is a discussion on this in the MySQL doc's.
