PHP - Output and String Handling
You want to create a PHP string that outputs exactly: She said, "Hello\World!" including the quotes and backslash. Which code snippet achieves this?
Aecho "She said, \"Hello\\World!\"";
Becho 'She said, "Hello\World!"';
Cecho "She said, "Hello\World!"";
Decho "She said, \"HelloWorld!\"";
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify characters needing escaping

    The string includes double quotes and a backslash. Inside double-quoted PHP strings, double quotes and backslashes must be escaped with a backslash.
  2. Step 2: Check each option for correct escaping

    echo "She said, \"Hello\\World!\""; escapes double quotes as \" and backslash as \\, correctly producing the desired output. echo 'She said, "Hello\World!"'; uses single quotes but escapes double quotes unnecessarily and backslash is not escaped properly. echo "She said, "Hello\World!""; has unescaped double quotes causing syntax error. echo "She said, \"HelloWorld!\""; escapes double quotes but not the backslash before 'World', so backslash is interpreted as escape sequence.
  3. Final Answer:

    echo "She said, \"Hello\\World!\""; -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Escape " as \" and \ as \\ inside "..." [OK]
Quick Trick: Escape " as \" and \ as \\ inside double quotes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Not escaping backslash
  • Unescaped double quotes causing errors
  • Using single quotes but expecting escapes
