How do I print the " in an echo statement?

If you are printing content to the screen and you have a double quote in it, you will get a parse error:


<?php

echo "this will give a "parse error"";

?>

There are two ways around this. First you can simply enclose with single quotes instead.

The second option is to escape the quotes like this with a backslash:


<?php

echo "Relief at last, no dreaded \"parse errors\" in sight!";

?>
