    hi.

    i want to use str_replace in my page with the following code 
    echo = str_replace("Z:\", "/images/", $row['sofname']);
    PHP:
    witch Z:\ is the local path of image folder (network drive) and i want to replace it with "/images/". But in PHP the \ it's used for another purpose and it's not working.
    How i can use this character inside the str_replace?

    thanks in advance.

    You need to escape the backslash by adding another backslash in front of it.

    
 
<?php
$string = "Z:\\path\sub";
$replaced = str_replace('Z:\\', '/images/', $string);
var_dump($replaced);
?>
    PHP:
    Tested code, works.
