replace backslash in str_replace

Question

I have the following string:

$text = 'Some slash\'s';

Here is my string replacement:

$text = str_replace('\'','\\\'',$text);

What I want to end up with is:

$text = 'Some slash\\\'s';

I think Im doing something wrong.

Answer 1

I have no idea why you'd want to do this, but I think the following should work:

$text = str_replace('\'', "\\\\\\'", $text);
