quoting operators in PHP, escaping the "

[double-f]

are there any quote (the: qq/ /, qw/ /, like in PERL) operators in PHP? or maybe someone knows quick method of getting the " escaped?
in PERL:
print qq/say: "there i am"/;
in PHP?

\" escaps a "

In your example, you may just want to use heredocs as you're familiar w/ perl

echo <<<EOF
say "there i am";
EOF;

I find that heredocs is pretty poor coding (no offence). The way PHP does this better is to simply just escape the PHP code:

?>say "there i am"<?

which can be put in anywhere in your code.

If you are just curious about slashes, the addslashes() function might be your cup of tea.
