Can removing slashes be stopped??

[php_beginner_83]

Hi all

Is there a way to stop the backslashes from being removed from my string?
Any help is really appreciated...this is driving me crazy.

This is my code..I need to keep the slashes.

$string = 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\Website\\images\\';

If you want two slashes, you need to use four slashes.

Alternatively, use forward slashes. Most people do this because Windows and Unix will accept them as a path.

i.e.

C:/xampp/htdocs/Website/images
