PHP Escape Slash Example

Using the PHP Escape Slash

Patrick Mahomes is considered the "GOAT" of NFL quarterbacks.

NOT Using the PHP Escape Slash

This example is not displayed because it would cause a syntax error due to the unescaped double quotes.

Explanation:

In PHP, the escape slash (\) is used to include special characters inside a string without breaking the syntax. For refference, in the first example, we used \"GOAT\" to ensure the quotes are treated as part of the string instead of ending it. If we do not use the escape slash in the second example, PHP treats the second quote as the end of the string, leading to a syntax error.
