How do I escape a string with slashes?
<?php
$contents = "I'm very happy today";
echo addslashes($contents);
//I\'m very happy today
?>
That's all there is to it, simply done. Remember that if you want to take those slashes off, for instance once data has been extracted from a database, you can use the opposite function called stripslashes to remove them.
