addcslashes
(PHP 4, PHP 5)addcslashes -- Quote string with slashes in a C style
Description
string addcslashes ( string str, string charlist )
Returns a string with backslashes before characters that are listed in charlist parameter. If charlist contains characters \n, \r etc., they are converted in C-like style, while other non-alphanumeric characters with ASCII codes lower than 32 and higher than 126 converted to octal representation.
Be careful if you choose to escape characters 0, a, b, f, n, r, t and v. They will be converted to \0, \a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t and \v. In PHP \0 (NULL), \r (carriage return), \n (newline) and \t (tab) are predefined escape sequences, while in C all of these are predefined escape sequences.
charlist like "\0..\37", which would escape all characters with ASCII code between 0 and 31.
Example (1):
<?php
echo addcslashes('foo[ ]', 'A..z');
// output: \f\o\o\[ \]
// All upper and lower-case letters will be escaped
// ... but so will the [\]^_` and any tabs, line
// feeds, carriage returns, etc.
?>
