I am experiencing some weird problems with PHP. When I execute the following
query from within a PHP script, the description is set to 'EBCO' and not
'EBCO\030774-006\BUBBLER VALVE'. When I execute this query from the mysql
monitor the value is inserted correctly.

$query = "update the_table
             set description = 'EBCO\\030774-006\\BUBBLER VALVE'
           where item_number = '1'";
mysql_query($query);


This statement prints to console incorrectly (notice funky character after
EBCO):

echo ("EBCO\030774-006\BUBBLER VALVE");
EBCO774-006\BUBBLER VALVE

This statement prints to console incorrectly (notice funky character after
EBCO):

echo addslashes("EBCO\030774-006\BUBBLER VALVE");
EBCO774-006\\BUBBLER VALVE


This statement prints the variable to the console correctly:

echo ("EBCO\\030774-006\\BUBBLER VALVE");
EBCO\030774-006\BUBBLER VALVE


How can I handle this description correctly with PHP?
