This "should" have worked, for \, but there are other characters to worry
about...

So you must have made a typo or something when you tried this.

RE: [PHP] back slashes

Lets say I have a string: 

"c:\www\test"

I want to insert it into a database, but what ends up getting inserted
is:

c:wwwtest

 I can not get php to double the back slashes no matter what I do!

$string = str_replace("\\", "", $string);

That is what I want to do, get all single '\' into double '\\'...

Any suggestions?
