Triply escaped backslashes (Score:2)

by vsergu (505) on 2002.09.12 15:42 (#12802) Journal

I wrote something like this line a few months back:

$sql .= " AND path LIKE '\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\servername\\\\\\\\share\\\\\\\\%'";

Scary, I know, but it works. I suppose there are various ways of getting rid of at least one level of escaping. Best of course would be to use forward slashes in the database in the first place.
