[PHP] back slashes

[Daniel Baughman]

 
 
 Hello all,
 
 I’m attempting to insert a windows path into a mysql database via PHP, but
it keeps ineterpreting the backslashes as escape chars.

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?
