quick function to replace ' with \' in php
Is there a PHP function that only adds slashes to double quotes NOT single quotes

I have for example:

$one = 'put "returns" between "paragraphs"';

$two = '"linebreak" add 2 spaces "at end"';

How can I convert this for:

$one = 'put \"returns\" between \"paragraphs\"';

$two = '\"linebreak\" add 2 spaces \"at end\"';

Answer 1

The function you’re looking for is either str_replace or addcslashes:

$one = 'put "returns" between "paragraphs"';

$slashed = addcslashes($one, '"');

echo $slashed;

Demo.
