Problems replacing \\ in a string

[Adamthenewbie]

I have a variable that contains \ and I want to replace the \ for a single .

For Example: $variable = "test\testing\Adam"
I would want "test\testing\Adam"

How would I write the code to do this. I have been trying stuff like this but I am having problems...

$variable = ereg_replace("[\]", "\", $variable);

Hi Adam,

It's because \ needs to be escaped itself in a string!!

Try ...

echo str_replace('\\', '\', "test\testing\Adam");
