PHP - Escape Characters

Posted 2024-05-17 07:32:36

Escape Character

To insert characters that are illegal in a string, use an escape character.

An escape character is a backslash \ followed by the character you want to insert.

An example of an illegal character is a double quote inside a string that is surrounded by double quotes:

$x = "We are the so-called "Vikings" from the north.";

To fix this problem, use the escape character \":

$x = "We are the so-called \"Vikings\" from the north.";
