Let me apologise in advance as I'm unsure if this can be resolved with
php or I need to post to a SQL group.
Anyway, I have some data that is encrypted before being stored, but I
noticed that sometimes the retrieved data, when decrypted, didn't match
the original data.
What I discovered was that the encryption routine sometimes created the
backslash character as part of the encryption string. Something like:
CÊ=3Fa=3F³Ýöâ8T\TBÆ
However, when this was stored in the database, the backslash became
removed leaving:
CÊ=3Fa=3F³Ýöâ8TTBÆ
I thought, if I just add:
$string = str_replace("\","\\",$string);
that would resolve the problem. Thinking that an escaped backslash would
allow the single backslash char to be stored.
However, that appears to be syntatically incorrect with php.
So is there any other way to force a backslash into the database, by
creating an escaped backslash, or am I going completely wrong and it
wouldn't have worked anyway and I need to deal with this issue on a
purely SQL basis.
