Thank you. &nbsp;I don't know why I didn't try the most simple solution! &nbsp;Being new to this. &nbsp;What do you mean by escape a backslash?

Thank you.  I don't know why I didn't try the most simple solution!  Being new to this.  What do you mean by escape a backslash?

<div>
The backslash key is used to handle certain escape sequences, for example<br />
<br />
echo &quot;\t&quot; yields a tab character. &nbsp;So with double quoted strings especially you need to escape the escape or put a double backslash when you want to see just one.<br />
<br />
In the case of a single quote quoted string you can just put a single backslash or a double backslash and in both cases it will appear as a single backslash when it is output.

It's funny. &nbsp;With everything being so complex that I am doing, finally a simple solution!

I have an echo statement that has three results. &nbsp;I have spaces between each and I would like to add backslashes. &nbsp;How would I do this?<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28012850-1">echo $thecity.'  '.$thearea.'  '.$thecuisine;</code></pre>
<br />
Results:<br />
Boston &nbsp; &nbsp;Back Bay &nbsp; &nbsp;American(New)<br />

Adding Backslashes To PHP echo

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.

MySQL Server

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
