PHP Escape Character

<h2>Escape Character</h2> <p>To insert characters that are illegal in a string, use an escape character. An escape character is a backslash \ followed by the character you want to insert. An example of an illegal character is a double quote inside a string that is surrounded by double quotes:</p> <?php echo "We are the so-called \"Vikings\" from the north."; ?>
