Replace special character

[dillipkumar]

Can somebody help me,

Take any string from command line prompt & replace what ever special character will get in that string that should be replaced with \ character.

Ex:
Enter any string: xyz/plks/abc.txt/$

Out put should be like this:
xyz\/plks\/abc\.txt\/\$

Thanks

or try the quotemeta() function:

$foo = 'xyz/.?.!@#$%^&*()_+/abc';
$foo = quotemeta($foo);
print $foo;
