How to replace one backslash with two?
This code doesn't work:
$msg = str_replace("\","\\",$msg);PHP will two backslashes insert into database as one.
If is there one backslash it will return a parse error.

This code doesn't work:$msg = str_replace("\","\\",$msg);PHP will two backslashes insert into database as one.
If is there one backslash it will return a parse error.change your double quotes " to single ticks '
Jump to Post$msg = str_replace('\','\\',$msg);with this?
alternatively since you are escape your backslash you could use 4 \ on the second one.

also try
$msg = str_replace('\','\\\\',$msg);I think that one will work. I'm drunk and no php here, but the 2nd should work

the first \ is an escape character. so put 2 of them.
