str_replace parse error *** RESOLVED ***

I've got the following line of code in a php page:

PHP Code:

---

$ProjectReference = str_replace("\","/",$ProjectReference); 


---

But I'm getting a parse error as follows:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\specac_test\ppc\nuaire_form_save.php on line 142

I've got a feeling it doesn't like the backslash, as other str replaces work ok?

Any ideas?

the backslash is used to escape characters that PHP will useto define strings or print out variables. like so:

PHP Code:

---

$var = "blah \"escape\" blah"; 


---

it you want to have a backslash, do a double backslash, "\\", PHP will recognize and escape the second backslash using the first, if that makes sense, and will only give you one backslash.

thnx kows,

Yeah I realised about 10 mins after i posted and the magical light bulb came on in my head, which is rare.

Thanks anyway
