How do I escape a string with slashes?


This is really easy to do, and simply relies on you using the addslashes function like this:

<?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.
