[Resolved] Fairly simple preg_replace question

[bunner_bob]

I need to insert backslashes before all instances of double quotes and forward slashes in some text (I'm making a javascript variable out of it).

What isn't working is

$output = preg_replace('("|/)', '\\$1', $input);

This just replaces the quote or slash with '$1'.

I'm sure this is simple - I'm just mighty rusty at my regular expressions.

see if

$output = preg_replace("#(\"|/)#", "\\$1", $str);

works for you

Yes indeed - thanks very much!
