php help

hi,

while translating to french some lines in the contact list language file, i came across a little problem.

i know that in php i need to put a \ in front of a '

and it works fine everywhere except in:
$lang['Contact_Alert_PM']

as in the PM it sends to users, the \ remains in the message and it should not, right?

thank you for your help!

Quote:

You only need to put an \ in front of an ' when it is surrounded by other ' marks. This is easier to explain with an example.

When you have this:

Code:

That will cause a parse error unless you have a \ before the ' in Here's, like Here\'s. So the correct form of this line would be:

Code:

But when you use " instead of ' around the whole string, you don't need the slash. Like this:

Code:

If you add a \ into this line before the ', it will be displayed as normal text. But, if you needed to use " inside this, then you would use a \ before those ".

Code:

I hope that explains it well enough.

thank you very much for your help!

but i still have the problem...

if i use your example:

Code:

this is the text i get in the Contact_Alert_PM:
Here\'s text where a slash is NOT needed.

the backslash is still there in the alert PM!

if i use this code:

Code:

the problem is the same!

in the PM that alerts of a new contact the text contains the \

whatever code you gave, the \ always apperas in the PM


thank you.

up
any help please?
