    okay, its a simple question, but I have no idea how to search for this.

    How can I put a forward slash within quotes.

    I have a problem, a string gets converted to "xyz/" and is then put in an sql querry, how can I detect the slash, I cant use: strpos($encPass, "\" ) > -1
    Since the \ makes the quotation a non surrounding quotaion.. so what can I use to detect a forward slash?

    Use "\\" :) That will work. The first slash escapes the second one.
    EDIT: And oh, since you are looking for xyz/, you might be trying "/" instead of "\\" ??

    You are asking about detecting slashes yet your example is for a backslash?

    Check for backslash: strpos($encPass, '\\')
    Check for slash: strpos($encPass, '/')

    Ok, then yes, \\ is right, the first backslash escapes the second resulting in a literal backslash.
