\0 is a NULL character, IIRC. Either use single quotes: echo ('EBCO\030774-006\BUBBLER VALVE'); or use two slashes, like you did above: echo ("EBCO\\030774-006\\BUBBLER VALVE"); ---John Holmes...
Problem is that this description is coming from a DB, that's why I was trying to use addslashes, which caused me the same
problems.
Use mysql_escape_string().
$safe = mysql_escape_string('EBCO\\030774-006\\BUBBLER VALVE');
$query = "insert into table (field) values ('$safe')";
