What is the function that puts \ to escape characters?

[kobescoresagain]

I need to put \ in front of all ' characters in a string. I know there is a function to do this. I just don't know what it is called, and tried google, but wasn't sure what it was called to search for it.

addslashes() ?

Always go to php.net if you need help with PHP functions, they have great documentation.

I did go there, I just wasn't sure what it was called, so it was kinda hard to figure it out. But it is add slashes. I figured it would have been called something else.

If it's for database insertion, there's a standardized way to do it via the database wrapper class in vB. Then again, since 99.9 (overbar) % of installations use MySQL as it is, it makes it somewhat pointless, especially given it essentially is a wrapper for addslashes itself.

Like I said, they have a great "Documentation", view the documentation. They have it categorized:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php

For example.
