I have a string:

$departmentList = "value:'16:NAR,JR'S OFFICE;17:MFR'S OFFICE;18:NAR/MFR JOINT OFFICE'"

My problem is, the single quotes you can see in JR'S OFFICE and MFR's OFFICE are prematurely ending my string. I could switch my double quotes with single quotes and vice versa, but these are coming from user-entered values. If the user had entered a double quote, I would be in the same boat as I am now.

Any ideas on how to keep the integrity of this string while having single and double quotes throughout?

By the way, not sure if this matters for anything but – I’m putting my $departmentList string into a jQGrid to build the values for a select box.

    Use addslashes to replace " with \" and ' with \'.
