[[ --<-@ ] Black Rose]

I wan't to replace " with \" and ' with \' for easy conversion from html->php.

How would I do it? str_replace("\"", "\\\"", $whatever); doesn't work...

[alexinno]

you should use preg_replace function

Why preg_replace?

In this case I would use addslashes.

PHP Code:

$whatever=addslashes($whatever); 


[alexinno]

i didn't know about addslashes

[Styles]

strip slashes
mysql_escape_string

[crazyeffect]

He got 3 ways to do it already

Lets try those 3 now xD

This is deprecated. Also, it doesn't fit in this context as there's no MySQL link.

Try...
$whatever = str_replace("\"","\"\\", $whatever);
$whatever = stripslashes($whatever);

I didn't realize you had to use the returned string. I thought the input one would be replaced.

This works:

PHP Code:

$contents = str_replace('"', '\\"', $contents);
$contents = str_replace("'", "\\'", $contents);
