Replacing " with \" using regular expressions

[sammy_the_snake]

I have a blog system programmed and am coding a script to be able to edit the posts, which contain double-quotes ("). I need to send the content of the blog post into another script that puts the text into a text field but the quotes mess up the HTML on the first script.

I need to replace a " with a \" using a regular expression and I cannot figure out how to represent a backslash and a double-quote.

Help!

WHy not use addslashes() then ? Make things much easier for you.....
You might also want to look into stripslashes if you are going down this route.....

Wow, I have never heard of those functions. They're very useful, but I actually figured out how to go about it in a different way.

You might also want to look at [man]htmlspecialchars[/man] for outputting anything to the browser that might contain anything that gets confused for markup. If you're putting data back into a textarea for example, use htmlspecialchars on the data first.
